earliest memory
"I'm home!" I screamed as I ran towards the front gate to my ranch style house and then sprinted to my house door. I was always very excited to come home from school. I was probally 7 or 8 back then. My mom always would have a yummy lunch ready at home. Shed say " come wash your hands and change your colthes lunch is ready" i would do as told right away and go to the dining room. The food was always delicious and i would take hardly anytime to scaref it down. Because what came after was the fun part thatd id wait for in the day. " It's time for a bedtime story!" my great grandma would say. "yay! im so excited to hear a new story today!" and i always really was. my great grandma was the best story teller ever. She no only told the story so well with suspense and everything but she would repeat stories but always change it up to keep it spicy and fun. Today's story was sleeping beauty. I laid in bed as she got comfortable on her chair and started to tell me the story. Her voice was so beatiful and storylike even at the age of 89 she sounded great. I slowly started to doze off still listening and for the first time i started to dream it. I saw all the visual things she said magnificent, arora, prince philip and it was so fasinating to see the story through my eyes and my imagination. I was very happy and i had a good nap i slept an extra hour. My mom and her were really happy cause they could get stuff done, i was a very active child. But when i woke up it was with a smile, and they told me i had one the whole time i slept. This is a very simple and everyday memory but these are the things i live for and remember my great grandma by who i loved very dearly and miss alot everyday. If she was still here i probablly would still be listening to her stories.
