The Good Old Days...

Those days are gone...
When we slept and woke up together.

When we gather 'round our antique dining table.
When we talk about simple things and our dreams.

When we fight about little things, like who's turn to wash the dishes, or who's going to help mom and dad with the house chores.

When we laugh together and make jokes on each other.
When we all watch in silence while mom or dad disciplines one of our siblings.

When we go to the farm together, play together and go home together.
When we make our home unbearably noisy with our chattering.

Those days are gone. At some point, we grew, went to school and had our own friends.

Separately, we chased our dreams.

We have our own families now. Yet, I always long for the good old days. We all do!

So, whenever we can, let us always find a way to be with each other. To support each other even from afar. Because we're family!...
