Precious Memories Wrapped In Tissue Paper

Prompt: Do you ever wish you could take your precious, cherished memories, wrap them in tissue paper, put them with your Christmas Decorations then get them out at Christmas and relive them? How would it make you feel?

I would get out my memories of Dad and the fun we had before his first trip to Vietnam. Memories of my parents and I and the places we lived when Dad was in the Air Force.

Memories of seeing JFK in person. Astronauts Grissom and Young. Being rescued by the Skipper of Gilligans Island in Arizona when I left Mom's side. He took me back to Mom. I have no memory of that. Meeting Loretta Lynn in person. Touching a piece of Gene Simmons guitar he broke on stage. Having General McArthurs private physician for a neighbor. Knowing country singer of Bobby Harden of The Harden Trio.

Memories of Christmas with my parents and grandparents. My wedding. Birth of my son. Getting my first kitty cat. Memories of my parents pets and grandparents cats I loved.

Lake Michigan trips. Trips to Michigan.

Happy times with friends, my son and his wife.

High School memories of be at the Prom, plays, the beauty pageants I was in and being a High School Reporter. High School dances. Friends.
