Life is always continuing on a forward motion and as the boys get older there are certain things that begin to repeat themselves. When Dan was in college, he and his friends would come down and stay here. In the morning they would get up and Kevin and I would make breakfast for all of them. They would sit around our dining room table talking and laughing and we would just stand back and watch. If you have ever seen the movie Twister where they are sitting at the table eating breakfast that was the memory it brought up for us. After Kevin passed the group would still come and I would still make breakfast for all of them and that memory of Kevin and I standing and thinking of the movie filled my heart. Fast forward a few years hear I am with the "next generation" of Walker friends. I made dinner the other night and with that the boys friends all walk in and they sat around the dining room table with plates and food all talking and laughing. The first memory I get is Kevin saying it is like the movie Twister. It filled my heart with such love.
The funny thing is that I have been thinking a lot about our summers together sitting by the fire talking and enjoying each others company. Then sitting with Dan's friends talking, giving advice and laughing. Now I am sitting with the boys' friends talking, giving advice and laughing. I wish Kevin were here to experience it with me. I know he would really like their friends and enjoy spending time with them.
