One day in particular when I was about 10, it was windy and the flowers from our cherry tree were getting blown off. I stood in the backyard with my arms outstretched and face uplifted to the sun while the soft petals rained down on me. In that moment, I felt such pure joy in living.

More cherished memories.............yours and those above.........thanks for sharing. I also remember those cherry blossoms.........

I think all the long gone grandparents would be happy to realize how much they meant in all of your lives.........very nice.
