I found a nice spot in the grass and sat down waiting for the fireworks to start. I had a friend that I use to take with me but she died in a car accident 9 years ago. So I go all by myself now. I don’t know why I still go to these things. As I sat there, I started thinking about my friend and I.
My mind wondered as I watched all of the families sitting on the green grass around me. Their children were running around laughing and having fun playing while we waited for it to get dark. Pretty soon I was regressing and in my mind I was a little boy again, sitting there next to my Mom and Dad. I wish I could turn back time.
I have two children, a boy and a girl. We use to go to the fireworks shows every year. They acted just like all the other kids that were with their families that were sitting around me waiting for the fireworks to start. Yeah, I thought of them too, but now my children along with their mother have moved away. You know how that goes and now they too are all grown up and have children of their own. So now I sit here all alone on the green grass reminiscing about my family and my friend wishing they were all here with me. SUDDENLY…. BANG,BANG,
the fireworks had begun. I started taking pictures of all the beautiful sky rockets going off above me. Somehow I didn’t feel alone anymore. I was too busy trying to capture the moment on my camera. The sky rockets kept going off one right after the other. I wanted to get some good pictures.
When I got back to my apartment, I loaded up the pictures on my computer. I had taken 77 shots and the best ones out of all of them in my opinion were the pictures I took of all the families sitting there on the green grass looking up as the sky lit up in a gorgeous dazzling display of colors. Yeah, it was all about the families watching the fireworks that turned out to be the most stunning pictures of all of them.
