I love this!

The first two that pop in my head was the year Rebecca St James’ God Album came out and the neighborhood kids (about 8 of us) and I would choreograph “concerts”. They didnt even go to church but we all knew this album. In fact, I think a few came to VBS that summer because of it.

And the second, my mom would pull us out of school on our bdays and spend one on one time with us before picking up our siblings and going home for homemade cake and ice cream. I realize now as a single mom of 3 deaf kids soo close in age this was a huge undertaking for her.

Youre right when you say these memories grow richer with time. Watching E with her neighborhood friends coordinating outfits and having dance parties or choosing to make K take his bday off work so we can spoil him with attention means more when I think about the tradition we are carrying on.

Thank you for bringing up these memories 😍
