Sunday night, a cold winter’s night, we gather under the blanket. Turn on the space heater and the black & white TV to enjoy family night.
We nuzzle close together and put the space heater under the blanket, at our feet. The warmth of the space heater & the closeness of one another feels nice. This is our weekly routine. My baby sister is our remote control. She gets up and changes the channel until she turns the dial to our favorite station. An evening of Mutual of Omaha, Wonderful World of Disney and mom’s favorite show, Bonanza.
I’m not sure why the house heater was not enough, but I guess that does not matter – we’re getting together to enjoy family night.
These nights are the closest our family gets.
