Snow Covered Memories.

Well Hello Spring. Why are you covered in cold and white? You were looking so beautiful. Things were beginning to blossom and grow. I'm worried about you, Spring. This last greedy grip of winter could damage all you've been preparing for us.

Snow.

Reflections:
I was sick a LOT when I was little. A great many of my earliest memories were of hospitals. So when it snowed, and I longed to go play in it like so many other kids, My Granddad would go out to his truck and scrape all the clean snow he could into a giant mixing bowl and bring it inside for me to play with in the safety of the warm house until it melted. He'd go back out as many times as it took for me to get my fill of the cold white stuff. So snow... always stirs fond memories of my Grand dad and all the wonderful adventures we had together when I was little. From mixing bowls full of snow to blanket forts in the dining room, to both of us falling asleep in the big recliner in the den as he read to me.

I think it's time for a visit soon. As hard as it can be...to feel like all they see when they look at me is still that same sickly little girl with pig tails, they love me and have done wonderful things for me all of my life.

snow, grandparents
