Family is always there for you, 

and is always there for me.

They are the most important.

They help me when I need it, 

I can’t imagine not having them as part of my life.

The memories over the past 13 years 

are the ones I cherish the most.

From swimming in the pool, 

to going on walks, 

tubing at the lake, 

and family dinners.

These memories make me, 

and are memories no one else will have.

Years fly by like cars on a highway.

The signs are like the memories 

and what's happening at the moment, 

They fly bye.

Slow down, and value all the time.

From getting ice cream,

go-karts, 

to opening presents on Christmas.

Look for the little things 

because before you know it you grow up, 

go to college, 

get a job.

You don’t see them as often

 and you start to lose people, 

the people who were always there.

I realized.

“How lucky am I to have something 

that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
