My Unpredictable Life


I am from chilly summers from four wheeler rides and Windex. I am from the cozy fireplace in my living room (warm, soft, and my favorite place to be) Sounding like mini firecrackers exploding like the day my country was born. I am from the beautiful flowers in my grandma’s back yard eventually being covered with gentle snow during the winter. I'm from the ferns on our blueberry trail sharp, tall, and green. I am from the crazy days of spring cleaning and the messages of love. from my amazing father and unbelievable mother and of course my goofy older brother that can always put a smile on my face. I am from the silly name calling and sunset pontoon rides at camp. I’m from “always say your prayers” and “it's the thought that counts.” I'm from being a bratty toddler to a high spirited girl. I’m from the great up north woodsy, gorgeous, and four different seasons. From the painful treatment of my mom’s cancer worrying each day it will return. I am from a family of survivors I am from ice cream on those occasional hot summer days and playing in the snow on bright winter nights. I am from a wonderful life. My wonderful life.
