4 Days

4 Days till Departure 

Every summer the family gets together for movie night, and we all agree it is one of the highlights of the summer. Tonight the relatives were gathered and we all talked about how much growth you are going to have this year, how good it is that you will have some independence, how proud we all are of you. Because this was the 20th anniversary movie night, we had the red carpet, swag bags, and even an usher to carry our things into the party. Spirits were high, the pool was warm, and as always, the food was delicious and plentiful. This year for the 20th anniversary, instead of our usual Casper cartoon to start things off, we had a slideshow of all the pictures from the past 20 years. It was so great to remember all the different movies and see how we all had grown and changed over the years. Rather than feeling nostalgic at watching the pictures of you growing over the years, I was just so happy to belong to a family that celebrates togetherness…then the movie started. 

Take it from me, “If” is not the movie you want to watch right before your kid goes to college. And just to save you the trouble, don’t read “Love You Forever,” either!
