Flashbacks.

Well my good friend Karl was in town, found a girlfriend in LA and decided to come over. I was so happy he came here while i was here. We are mainly cousins, but we got close over the years in canada. The good times I had with that guy are priceless. So finally we reunited, both with our loved ones, and the good ol' memories came rushing back. The main thing we had in common was Music. We could rock out any songs from anytime...anywhere really. so when my boyfriend had a barbecue in his honor, he saw the beautiful piano and as i had predicted...ran his hands over it, itching to play a few tunes. My boyfriend's mom was so happy to see someone want to play the piano that had been silent for too long, she quickly opened it up and practically forced him on the bench to show us what he had. Well once he did start playing...memories of good times at my house came rushing back...and i was in a trance. Music & laughter is what makes a house a home, and there you had it. it made me think back on my childhood, when i would just sit down right in front of my uncles (aka the musicians) and listen. for hours at a time i did my best to be unnoticed by the lingering adults around me who sang and talked and laughed, and I just listened. I have been doing that since I can remember. But being far from home makes you think back I guess. And just to have that with me in that precious moment where my cousin shared his gift, I felt like i child again, just listening. Of course my boyfriend noticed this and quickly grabbed the camera to snap a few pictures. I'm happy to have had that in my heart again. Now I know for sure my children will experience the same thrill and inner peace I felt as a child when it came to music. Whats a house without music anyways?
