I know what you are thinking...man this guy must have ran out of ideas to write about if he is showing a picture of Hardee's. If those are the words you were thinking then you are wrong. This is no ordinary Hardee's. I'm sure they make burgers like any other Hardee's but what I see is sentimental value. To make a long story short I needed a root canal and my dentist sent me to a specialist in Charlotte. On the way back home from a visit to the specialist we decided to stop here and grab something to eat. When I say we- I mean dad and me. Little did I know this was the last time we ate out together. Every time I ride by this place, that day is what comes to mind. I am not a big Hardee's food lover but what made it good that day - he was there with me. To top it off, a song came on the radio on the way home that sums it up best. The song was Hero by Mariah Carey. If there was one thing I wish I could do, it would be to contact and tell her personally what that song means to me. I'm not talking about a chit chat over the phone either. I'm talking about a face to face conversation so she can look into my eyes when I tell her. If I had an endless bank account, I would make it happen even if it cost me tens of thousand of dollars... Things like that have no price tag. If there is someone you love or very dear to you then I would suggest you make the most of every momment you have with them. You never know what you got till it's gone.
you are absolutely correct there are so many memories that we wish we could live again...I was talking to sean the other day and we were talking about my mom and he said how sometimes he can still hear her laugh at times and I told him I hear her everyday in my head and in my heart especially now that Sean is gone to Iraq...when I need her the most shes not here physically but I know she will always be in my heart.
ReplyDeleteFunny...I've noticed you've been bloggin a lot about your dad lately the past few months. My grandma's been on my mind a lot these past few months. In fact, I'm wanting to write a book about memories of my grandma and maybe even illustrate and write a couple childrens books. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her almost constantly since I got married. I'm not sure if it's fortunate, or unfortunate, but I'm no where near any landmarks that remind me of her and when I was growing up. All I have are pictures and a few videos. But maybe that's best for me....
