All I ever wanted was a big family when I grew up.
Lots of kids …lots noise….lots of fun and lots of laughter.
I remember what it was like growing up in all of that.
“Craziness”….simply put – CrAzY…..but I wouldn’t have had it any other way!
I miss those times….I miss my Mom and I miss my Dad and I miss all my brothers and sisters. I miss the crazy holiday gatherings; Dad on the piano, Mom in the kitchen and a house FULL of the rest of us and our cousins and friends and neighbors. Lots of food and fun!
I could reminisce about individual times (I remember them like vivid movies in my head!) but there are soooo many; and they are all hilarious and fun and full of love each one!
Mostly I just miss my family.
Funny…..all I ever wanted when I was young was to be a mom and to have a big family.
Here I am a mom, with five kids. But no big time family gatherings filled with music and fun, food and frolic.
How ironic is that?
*sigh*
