Where I'm From

I am from old and worn-out dog collars. From big fluffy blankets and tones of strong-smelling candles. I am from the many different plants in our dining room and our pets yelling at each other. I am from the small cactus in the kitchen. the old oak tree that stands tall that has attended all our imaginary performances. I am from opening one present on Christmas eve and to always being honest. From mom and dad. I am from believing in ourselves and each other and family game nights on Christmas eve that will shape our memories forever. I am from the “I love you” and “Hurry up”. I am from eating dinner together. I am from home of the Winnipeg Jets and lots of baguettes. and jumping on the trampoline all summer long and a lot of spaghetti. From going on trips with our grandma would never break a rule. From the photo album under the T.V. From many more trail rides with horses I will never forget.
