How fortunate you are to have grown up accustomed to a happy and close-knit "family atmosphere" with good food and good memories with your grandparents. I had the same and those are times I really cherish. I bet your little sisters are just crazy about you--I always wanted an older brother to look up to. Do you think you will drum in college? It seems to be a big part of who you have always been. I'm glad to know you, Riley! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey Riley. I can most definitely related to your reservations about the future. I, too, am not sure that I'm ready for what life has in store for me. As the eldest children, we have to pave the way for our younger siblings and meet all the exceptions, am I right? I also love the cold weather of winter, especially snow. You and I have quite a bit and common, it seems. Thank you for sharing!
