Fond memories this
A house and loving home place.
In good times and bad.
Family gathered here
Not only brick and mortar
But love filled it all!
I remember Christmas, Thanksgiving and summer picnic here. The Folks, as they were called, always had an open door for us kids. My grandparents had died before I was born so the Aunts and Pat were all I know as extended family. There were so many overnights as kids. My celebration after my 1st Communion was here. My first opera, Aida, was shared with Pat. When I graduated from high school I was gifted with a trip to Washington D.C. with them all. We had a grand time. And when they sold the house, and I was in nursing school close by, I would take occasional walks by it, just to remember the good times. For those times I am truly gratefully.
