Missing Family

Today I miss my family, wish I was close enough to pass by my parents and crawl next to Mom in her king size bed watching my Grandfather's favorite western just to keep memories of him close or I could hang in the kitchen beating Dad at backgammon. How loud would it be if it was brother, auntie, sissy and me all of us fighting over who would pick up food, unless sissy had us covered cause we know she can burn. Family and friends all showing up in turn to continue the fun. Pick your poison or bring your own we don't mind drinking ours and yours! The grandchildren running the house because our parents lose their minds when it comes to our kids. They can run, jump and scream without so much as a fuss. They can demand food other than what was cooked or turn Dad's tv channel without him saying a word. Spoiled an understatement, its nothing but love. I miss my family today, I wish I was close.
