Walking Down Memory Lane

Well it all started when I found these two really nice photo albums that had their own case the other day in the thrift store. There was a box of them and I reached and got one set out to see what it was and I opened it up and the guy standing there saw what it was and when I turned to put the one I had in my buggy and walked back to get me one more he grabbed the whole box of them, and I do mean the whole box. Now I have a problem with greedy people, I really do. Really no need in greed at all. I was only going to get me one more and I knew all my photos would fit in these albums.

So anyway I had to ignore the greed of some folks and just say thank You God for allowing me to get the one set that I did get. :)

So I was going though all my photos tonight to see which ones I wanted to put in these two albums and did I say they were nice albums? Yep they were. Anyway I came across some photos of some VERY special people to me. You want to know why? OK I will tell you why……

You see my Daddy was an awesome man in my life and I just loved him dearly! No one on earth quite like my Daddy, Thomas Charles Harrison!!! These photos in which I refer to is of my niece and nephew, the ONLY ONES I have on my Daddy’s side. My Daddy would have been SO PROUD of his Grandchildren. He would get down in the floor on our level when my sister and I  were kids and play with us and take up time with us. There was no one else around when he was playing with his kids! How I do miss my Daddy!

Anyway back to my precious niece and nephew! They mean the world to me and I have no way of telling them just what they mean to me in words. I haven’t been able to go see them and visit them like I would love to be able to and it just breaks my heart that we’re all apart and not really a close family and live so far from each other. It really does because I love these two folks with all that is within me and I want to be close. That is one reason why I am so mega happy that my sister is finally in the same state I am in. We can visit and do things together like sisters are suppose to be able to do. Man how I dream of being able to do that with my niece Belinda, and my nephew Jason and my great nieces and nephew. Man how I could spoil these three kids!!!!!

Life is really really short and as you get older you realize it’s even shorter than what you thought it was to begin with. And as I get older I seem to get more sentimental than I ever was and I have always been sentimental.

But as I was walking down memory lane tonight in my photos I came across all these photos and just wanted to tell these two wonderful folks how much I love them and what they mean to me. I LOVE YOU JASON and I LOVE YOU TO BELINDA!!!! With all my heart I do and I mean that. I wanted to share some photos with you as well. Some cute, funny, and precious photos. Belinda there was one I didn’t find that I really really wanted to put on here.

It was the one of you in the little silky gown I made you when you were about 2 years old. You looked like a little angel to me in it. Then there was the one I also wanted to put on here of you in your camouflage coveralls I made you. I think you really really liked your coveralls. lol

Also Belinda I do have lots more photos of you but I couldn’t share them on here. :)

Left to right, Cindy, Belinda, Jason, and my sister Elaine facing the camera.

And I want you to look at this precious baby! This is Jason.

Oh and look at this really pretty girl! She’s making a face at me because I disturbed her TV watching. ;)

Isn’t she just so pretty? This would be precious Belinda!

Belinda again.

Always smiling!! :) This is at our trailer. That old rocker your Mom is in was Roberts Aunt Cadds old rocker. She told me she rocked all her kids in it. It looked like I don’t know what, but man the memories that thing had!

Cute little Belinda!

Mawma and Jason. This is my Daddy’s Momma, Carrie Louise. So this is Belinda’s and Jason’s Great Mawma. She was a precious and gentle of a person you’ll ever want to meet. She never raised her voice at any of us kids. Man how I miss her to. Like I said before, life is so short, really really short. That’s why we have to make the most of it and love our family because God gave them to us. And He gave me one of the best that there ever will be.

You know what, there was some pix of you all on the pond when it iced over to. I just happen to think about those and I didn’t see those in the boxes. I must have missed a box of photos.

I hope you enjoyed walking down memory lane with me. Good memories and sad ones of the family loved ones done gone on. Life is short, love your family while you still have time so you have NO regrets after they are gone. I love you Jason and Belinda and my sister!!!!!!
