Memories are something that are very important to most
people. They are something that we should hold close to us, especially the
memories that we have of those that we love and those we have lost throughout
the years. Today, I wanted to talk about two very important people in my life –
my nana and papa, and some of my favorite memories that I have with them. They
were there basically from the moment my life started, and I remember doing a
lot of things with both of them. We would always have family get togethers,
whether it be at my house, my aunt tammy’s house, or their house – we were
always hanging out. I always loved having cook outs by the pool, and swimming
at my Aunt Tammy’s house. I was always usually the first one in the pool, and the
last one out. I loved hanging out with my nana and papa no matter what we were
doing, I also loved spending holidays with them. Every Easter, we would color
eggs together. Every Halloween, we would buy pumpkins, and we would carve them.
Halloween was absolutely my favorite holiday to spend with my nana and Papa, I loved
carving pumpkins with them, and I loved going to trick or treat at their house
to show off my costume and I also really liked to look at all their cool Halloween
decorations that they had. They always did have some really cool decorations.
On Thanksgiving, we would eat turkey and other Thanksgiving dishes, and we
would also watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade – that was an absolute
must. On Christmas, we would have Christmas dinner together, and then we would
all open our presents. I remember that Christmas always seemed so magical to
me, and I think that part of it was because I was spending it with people I loved.
I always really looked forward to spending Christmas, and every other holiday
with my Nana and papa. Apple Picking at Hicks is another fond memory I have
with them, we used to go every year. Nana and Papa supported everything I did,
especially dance. They would always give us flowers after our recital. Nana and
Papa were with me on some of the most important days in my life. They were
there for my prom, and they were also there for my high school graduation. I
miss hanging out with them all the time, and I would like to talk about some of
the things Nana and Papa have taught me before I wrap this up. Papa taught me
how to be tough when I need to be, and he also taught me how to fish – a skill I
have not kept up with over the years. Nana taught me to always believe in my
faith, and to always be respectful to others even if I don’t like them.
Unfortunately, my Nana passed away in March 2012, I really miss her. Earlier
this year, we celebrated my Papa’s 90th birthday. I have learned to
really cherish the time I have with him. I have also learned to cherish my
memories I have with both my Nana and Papa. You never know when you will see
someone for the last time, and that is why memories are so important.
Scene setting – Various places including my Aunt Tammy’s, my
Nana and Papa’s old house, my old house, Queensbury High School, and the nursing
home my Papa lives in now.
Some of the pictures are a bit old, so the quality might not be the best. Most were taken by my mom and my Aunt Tammy, a few of the ones of just them were taken by me. People in the photographs are (in random order) my Nana and Papa (Sylvia and
Ray), me, my sister Amanda, my sister Emily, my cousin Sarah, my cousin Nikki
and her daughter Bailey, my mom, my dad, my Aunt Tammy, my Aunt Kathy, my Uncle
Hank, my Uncle Dave, my cousin Sienna, my cousin DJ, and my dog Brady.
Without further ado, here is memories:
