Reading the book “Winter’s Coming” by Eve Bunting transported me immediately to this past weekend surviving the big snow storm. Me gathering food, water, candles, and flashlights is a modern version of this story. I knew as soon as it started snowing hard I would need to get home quickly. Looking at the sky, the size of the snow flakes, and the amount of snow falling was scary. The faith and strength I carry with me, comforted me, and insured my heart I would make it home. Thank goodness, I went to the store on Thursday. My family and I had everything we needed to ride out the storm. In amazement, the snow continued to fall, and fall, and fall! I have never seen so much snow in my lifetime. There is a first time for everything, and I am grateful to share this experience with my daughter and son. The stories we tell in the future will be a part of our life and memories forever.
