Box #15

One place that carries me to a world of thoughts and is full of sensory details is the family room in my house back at home. It is the house i grew up in. My family moved there when I was three years old and since then it has been full of unbelievable moments. One particular event I remember is opening Christmas presents in this room every single year for the last sixteen years of my life. It is something I will absolutely never forget. Not only did I receive countless gifts in those years but the time I was able to spend with my family during these moments was great. Watching the whole family open presents here is something that can never be forgotten. Also, this is the room where every one in my family would open birthday presents on their birthday. Even in some extended family we would bring them to our house for a party and make them open presents in the family room. It is just the way our family works and acts. Aside from the holidays, this is a place we would eat dinner in as a family on a very regular basis. The couches were comfortable and my dog Sammy never failed to beg for a bite from every single person. Of course their are other memories too. When I was little my friends and I would hang out in this room when they came over and as I got older I spent time here with girlfriends as well. This is easily one of the most important places in my life. It is something that means even more to me now, because my family has our house for sale. I will never forget the memories from that room no matter how long and how far gone I am from it.
