I am from...

I am from
rows upon rows of post-war homes.
I am from
sitting on my Papa's lap on his 72nd birthday,
his sweater thick with pipe smoke.
I am from
mashed potatoes and typical vegetables.
I am from
"treat people the way you want to be treated."
I am from
the rolling, muddy banks of Loch Lomond.
I am from dancing with my husband, even when there
is no music
I am from
fishing on Long Lake in the shadow of the setting sun
I am from
sarcasm
I am from
living my life to the fullest
every chance I get.
This is where
I am from.
