Theme: Christmas Memories
My Christmas Memory
So this story is simple - but then... simple things mean a lot. I was
in elementary school maybe 9 or 10, it was family night and Mom and Dad
were taking everyone shopping. Except me. I was sick. I hated to miss
out on things. So they went out the door and I cried. Then the door
opened and in walked Dave. "Did you forget something?" I asked. "No - I
just decided not to go," Dave replied. A few minutes later we were
playing a game - and I was happy. The next day mom said when he found
out I wasn't in the car and I wasn't going - he offered to stay home.
Well, maybe he didn't like shopping - I don't know. But it made all the
difference to me that he would stay home with me. I still remember. Someone cared. My brother, Dave. -Diane
