Journaling (266 words): We were always taught that family was important. Every year we always found a way to get together for Christmas and birthdays regardless of how many miles apart we were. We would have fun laughing with each other and learning and growing together. The times we spent together are some of the cherished moments in my childhood. Even as I grew up I still bestow in my children the importance of family and celebrations. Our traditions we experienced as a child are still being carried on with the next generations. My hopes are that our children will continue the traditions with their children as our family did for us. I remember when we would open our presents, go to the church statue and crawl into it and spend hours just visiting. The days we would go to the cornfield and watch the trains pass and the engineer would blow their horn at us, I still smile every time I see a train. The days when we would get on our bicycles and pedal down to the gas station to get a soda pop and ride the bicycles past the apple orchard and pick a fresh apple on the way home. These are the days that I think of quite often when I remember my childhood. The days of being surrounded by my family and had no worry in the world other then to have fun and we did have lots of hours of fun. When I need a smile I turn back to the days of a child in the twentieth century… The good old days.
