The Cracking of the Ice

 

When I was a child my older sister and I would walk to school together, well most days we would walk together, some days she would try to ditch me and run off.  I thought she was the most awesome person in the whole world and would follow her anywhere, however she did not always like having a little sister tagging along.  This would be a battle between us all the way through high school.  Even so, most days we would walk together. Some of my favorite morning walks to school were when the weather was frosty and the standing puddles would freeze over leaving a nice icy layer on top, perfect for cracking. There was nothing as exciting as the race to see who would be the first to reach the frozen puddles to crack the ice. I love the sound of that cracking ice.  I guess I never grew out of it.  The excitement I felt then is just as real today, the only thing that would make it better would be to share the experience with my older sister once again, however my sweet sister passed away a few years ago and I miss her terribly, so I am thankful for those memories.

Today’s video brought back so many sweet memories of my big sister.
I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.
