ChildHood

Growing up I think I had a normal childhood. Except loosing a sister and the best friend I will ever know, it was normal. At least to me anyway. I lost something when willy died. I was never the same. Most kids growing up had lots of friends not me. My sister would go to friends houses on the weekends, I would go to my grandparents house. I loved it there. My granny and grandpa had a farm and I loved going there every weekend I could. My mom and dad would drop me off and I would just feel so free there. Like no one was judging me I could be me. We wake up at the crack of dawn eat breakfast and head out to the farm. Feeding the cows and mending fences. Clearing brush, fixing up the old cabin and of course bailing and hauling hay. I remember driving my first truck in the hay Field. My daddy let me drive the truck, it was a standard and had a fast idle. I thought I was the queen of the field. lol until they made me get out because I was driving to fast and they could not throw the hay fast enough to keep up with me. When we would get home we would clean up and cook dinner. After dinner we would take a bath and get ready for bed. Grandpa would always have a small glass of coke and a sinkers candy bar right before bed. Every night.

Nite time at my granny's house i can remember the smell of the sheets, ceder, the room would be the darkest of dark, The window would be open with a fan inside bringing in the breeze and the sounds of the crickets and the faint smell of pine trees. I would lay there thinking about what we where going to do the next day, thinking to myself i did not want to go home at the end of the weekend. My cousins Debbie, Dallas, and Nichole lived with granny and grandpa. Dallas and I where close. I remember this one time we had built a tree house and we would hid up there and when our sisters would walk by we would throw tinny rocks at them. lol man did we get into trouble. Man I miss those days. We would Play outside all day and at night we would catch lighting bugs. We would pinch off the green light and stick them on ourselves and run around pretending to be a lighting bug. Flying around hiding from the bats. lol If i could freeze time that would be one of the moments I would freeze. To not have a care in the world. Going back home was always hard for me. I wanted to stay at granny's house. I always knew I would be coming back so it was ok to go home. I Love you Granny.
