Brookings Memories

I was in Brookings last night for a high school event. It was a night full of memories of your childhood. Nathan, I drove by the sidewalk that you crashed on your bicycle riding to swimming lessons. I remember seeing you getting lost and crying until I showed you the way home. Hayden I drove by the school at Medary and remembered all the times I took you to school in Kindergarten. I remember one time I dropped you off and drove away. I watched you in the rearview mirror and noticed that you had stopped on the sidewalk. You were just staring in the air. So I turned around to see what was wrong. When I drove up to you and asked why you had stopped. You just looked at me and pointed in the air. You said "Bird!". There was a big black bird perched on the backstop of the baseball field. I am not sure if you were watching hoping it would take off or what. It makes me giggle just writting about it now. Well, You guys take care and know that I always loved you.
