Fondest Memories  Click for Story Fondest Memories Growing up we were far from being rich. We lived in a 3rd floor coldflat apartment, which some may know. A coldflat is an apartment without heat or hot water. Although we didn't have much mom and pop always made the holidays so special. Mom and pop would be in the kitchen making their favorite and ours Italian cookies and dishes. Mom would open the sofa sleeper and allow me and my two sisters to sleep as it was too cold in our bedroom. This one paticular Christmas I was about 6 yrs of age my older sister 8 and my younger sister 2. I remember being so excited waiting for Santa to come and mom told us to hurry up and go to sleep for he was coming soon. Upon waking up on Christmas morning behind each of us was a Christmas stocking full of candies and little plastic toys. We didn't have much under our tree but we had food fit for a king and love and those memories will be forever in my heart. Now mom is in her late stage of Alzheimer's and pop has gone home 4 yrs now. They may be gone, but in my heart is where they are and will stay. Merry Christmas mom and pop, love you both. |
