Sometimes all it takes is a few words….
Then your whole world changes. Right now my heart is broken. Its nothing anyone did or said. I watched the movie Nights in Rodanthe. Yes, I cried...and cried, and cried. My heart took me back to when I was little. And nowadays, people take their kids for granted. No this isn't pointed at anyone, its just something that really makes you think.
Think about when you were little, no go ahead sit down and really think about this.
What are your favorite memories with your parents and grandparent?
Was it camping?
Was it at a amusement park?
Was it sitting around the dinner table?
Was it watching a movie together?
Honestly think about your favorite times and what you miss the most. Watching that movie Nights in Rodanthe took me back to when it was just me and my Daddy. When he would just swing me around and around. In those moments, those were the best times because I knew at that moment....he was focused on me. And all he was wanting was to see the smile on my face.
It wasn't out spending money, buying me this or that. It was the one on one times I miss spending time with each of my parents. Kids nowadays are spoiled with their video games and TVs in their rooms. Mine especially.
I am guilty of not spending enough time with my Son you know. I've had a few difficult weeks here. Dealing with alot of crap and family drama, wishing I didn't have to listen to half the stuff I am told. Because all I ever wanted is a normal family, but then again who wants a normal family? I miss the Sunday Dinners at Grandmas, the huge Christmas get togethers and birthdays. I loved my childhood, and what I would give to give my OWN Child the same happiness I had.
