Tradition
When I was learning about healthy families one of the things that was said was that healthy families have traditions. Oh how I have longed to be a healthy family. It is not something I have been able to attain. However there have been things I have been able to implement that bring glimmers of health near and this tradition of attending the fall fair every year brings me such joy and hope too.
We go to the parade and then we go eat corn and chicken and go on rides. We go see all the things people have entered and we visit the animals that the 4H kids bring. It is so simple and some years it is pouring rain and some years it is hot. I always feel close to my grandparents when I am there and often feel like they are going to come through the crowd to say hi. I clearly remember the last time I saw them at this fair. Every year I feel close to tears all through the day because I am so happy and it means the world to me.
This year my daughter brought her new husband and I had seven children at the fair with me. My sister and her family come as well and it is just a day that means so much. What a triumph,
