ROLLER COASTER MEMORIES

How many times have we heard: life is like a roller coaster? from its ups and downs we cannot hide. As we navigate these highs and lows… we do our best to enjoy the ride. Our memory records each ride we make…wherever we happen to go… allowing us at any time to remember every high and every low. When friends and family get together…as we do every now and then… how quickly we get back in line…to ride those memories again. Remembering with joy and laughter as higher and higher our memories go. Remembering with tears and sadness when the roller coaster dips down low. The thing that makes our roller coaster so enjoyable… is not only how every day our experiences and memories have grown… but…with all the seats available…we never have to ride alone. How wonderful it is to hear…as those memories rise and fall… before they slip away… how all the people on the ride shared in such a beautiful day. Because the best memories we have are of our friends and family laughing screaming…riding with our hands high in the air… The best memories are the memories we’ve made together… the memories we share.

Jim, I loved: with all the seats available…we never have to ride alone...Two of my grandsons 15 and 9 enjoyed a time at the fair this past Summer. The first ride was side to side. I describe the little one…smiling…smiling…frowning…scared…looks like he’s going to puke (lol). These 2 were fighting a lot before this. When they got off the ride, the older one starts to walk toward another daunting ride, turns around, beckons his brother, who bravely goes with him. Ahh the bonding! Blessings!
