Sometimes it feels like a beautiful dream. Often it seems just like yesterday. So many years of life, laughter, love. Hundreds of steps on this beautiful land. Thousands of memories that will last for eternity. Generations past, present and future who all hold this small piece of heaven close to their hearts. The woods. The gulley. The sixteen acre field. The big rock. The petrified forest. The forts. The creek. The cabin. The old indian burial ground. The weeds. The split tree. The pond. The cow path. The swamp. The deer grass. The blackberries. The vegetable gardens. But as precious as this land is, it was the people on it who made it so special. Grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews, grandchildren, greatgrands, cousins, husbands and wives, children, friends. Without the love of those around us over the years, it would just be another ordinary plot of land. It is love that gave us this gift, and made it our home. The sweet memories will stay with us, and be a part of us, forever.
