"I am Grateful for a Happy Childhood"

While at dinner for my Dad's birthday, we were all snuggled into a corner booth, talking about old home videos.

My parents had been watching old home movies, and found one of a Christmas when we were children. We were looking back fondly with each other, and reminiscing about our childhood.

My Grandma said something that I don't think I will ever forget. She said that when she says her prayers, she always thanks her Heavenly Father for a happy childhood.

I have thought about this numerous times since.




I am so grateful for the happy childhood that both Cal and I had.

We look back on when we were children and smile and think of how blessed we are.

Oh! Look how cute you were! I don't think I have seen that picture of you in the rain coat. So cute! And by the way, who is that Darling little girl Cal is holding? :)

That was so great, I almost shed a tear. I too had a happy childhood and sometimes think my boys are getting shorted. I need to post 'happy childhood' somewhere to remind me of the memories I am making.
