Family Values

Jason RidpathContemplative

You’re always on my arm.

Our last memory in the car.

You’re always in our hearts.

When the camcorder died so did the glint in our eyes.

Half a decade.

But, your love, your memories always seem to find me when I need them the most.

Every nerve ending vibrating, goosebumps multiplying.

They’ll always last.

Sometimes I’m happy.

Sometimes I’m sad.

Most of all, I’m glad.

For the family, you’ve helped to create with Nan.

Our family values, the love, and the laughter you’ve brought to our lives. To be open to love.

To be open to laughter.

To be open to others.

To be able to forgive.

To live with few regrets.

The lessons you taught your children.

The lessons you taught your grand-children.

These are lessons we will teach our children.

It’s everything that inspires me to be a better me.

The love that you’ve instilled in us all.

Sometimes my mind will stall.

You’re always on my arm.

Our last memory in the car.
