Seven years have gone by in time since I have been gone. That means seven Christmas, seven Easters, seven birthdays, and eighty-four months missed in that home. There could have been many memories made in that home, but military life has changed those memories. There were many first for me in that home, but continuum of those first are gone. You walk up to it you see this nice big yard in the front great to have your kids and pets to play in, to share and have memories on. Going through the front door and you look inside may not seem like much to you but to me there is more than a life time of memories in this house. Living room on the left, dining room and kitchen on the right, and straight in front of you is a hallway to 3 rooms and 3 baths. Yes my dear little brother you may remember this place as another place we lived in. But this place is where you grew and had your foundation of your life. This home is where we had our first steps, our first word, our first drawings, our first holidays, our first time meeting and see all of our family, and where all those memories will stay. When I walk through this hall and rooms all I see is us having our past memories. I remember the first time you walked. We were playing in the play room, you wanted to get your Legos so you crawled your way to the 3 stairs we had in that room. You stood up and climbed those stairs with such ease, and you then ran across the room to get you your Legos. I have never seen you that happy like that day. Those first we had shown how much we have accomplished in such a short time. We humans can accomplish the hardest things in our lives with ease and quickly. Those first we had in our first home are the greatest and precious memories and first that we will never forget and will always cherish. When you have your own children I pray that you will teach them the values of their firsts especially the ones as a baby and toddler. I will never forget
