Maggie Mason, from Mighty Girl, has been posting the top 100 scenes she wants to see flash before her eyes as she dies. Scenes from her life that mattered most. I’ve been thinking about this and so I thought I’d like to start my own list. I encourage you to add your own scenes via comments.
1.) Waking up Christmas morning to my very own Snoopy doll
2.) Sitting on the back of Papa’s old green pick-up truck that was rusted and filled with metal rods and other “treasures”.
3.) Drinking sweet iced tea on the back porch of my grandparents farmhouse
4.) Looking into David’s big blue eyes for the first time and realizing that this was the man I was going to spend my life with
5.) Seeing the pregnancy test turn positive for the first time.
6.) Hearing my name called at my graduation from graduate school
7.) Sitting on the deck of a steakhouse at the base of the London bridge in the UK as the royal navy passed by. The portabella mushroom soup was warm and the air was wet and cold.
8.) Watching the Mardi Gras parade pass by in Nashville TN after having only one too many drinks.
9.) David and I walking into our first house for the first time knowing that it was ours.
10.) Closing the last page of Jane Erye with tears streaming down my face at the bittersweet happiness of Jane.
Much like Maggie, I’m sure I will add to this list, but this is my start. And you?
awwhh…that brings back alot of memories….Okay, I’ll have a go of this and see how we go.
1. Watching my Mom birth my little brother. Child birth is such a miracle.
2. Seeing my wonderful husband on the day of our wedding.
3. Seeing my Papa wake up after 3 heart attacks and open heart surgery.
4. The first time I saw Brindle (my puppy). Such a bundle of energy.
5. Watching Trey (my bro) walk across the stage at his high school graduation.
6. My Grandma
7. Camping with Meme
I am so glad you made me think of these things. I could go on and on now that I’m working on it but I’ll stop. 😀 Thanks
