A Cousin's Magical Memories

Riding tricycles and swimming. Bicycling madly on Chicago streets. Ah, dear Lord, life was deliciously sweet! Christmas time glowed in Elmwood Park. That huge white flocked tree. We all are here, but lost our fun-loving, Brucie! Cheering for the Bears at great Soldier's Field,  Or the times at Cubs Park? At night on swings in the warm, starry dark. KiddieLand and Riverview, too. The laughter and the endless joys. We were truly good little girls and boys. Now on my inner journey to a most blessed past. The ongoing wonder of growing up to achieve. But most significantly, we were taught to believe! If a gardenia could only speak of our fragrant young days... I am only here to tell you, I love you. And each one, an invaluable soul,in my view! Love and Merry Memories!           ~ Cousin P ~             12-22-2020 A tribute to all my cousins. Merry Christmas Holiday Hugs

Panagiota, Cousins are special people, family shared in good times and bad. Uncles that took us fishing, Aunts that kept us fed. -Richard

Hi Richard I come from a large family, so I know you sense what I mean. Those Aunts and Uncles took me traveling across the USA. It was fun because this preceded technology with Siilent cars where people don't communicate. I learned family history as a kid. And we made up games a d talked. We also were not strapped downlies e pigs going to a market with insane seatbelts. Pangie xx
