Parade!
Submitted by: Vicki
Single, senior, young at heart.
For over 35 years my sister, Leslie and I would always go to see our Village’s Memorial Day Parade. We sit in the same spot all the time. We have signs that say, “I Love Candy”. We always have so much fun. We come home with tons of candy. However, one day I said to my sister, “One day I would like to be in the parade instead of just watching it.”
So this year every time we went driving down the parade route, I would tell her to practice waving like we were in the parade. I even talked about entering ourselves and putting red, white and blue streamers on our Firebird.
The parade was fast approaching again this year when I opened up an email I got from our Township. We volunteer for our Township so it was not unusual to get mail. In the letter though, we were asked to be in the parade and to ride on their float!!! Yes, the law of attraction sure does work!. So we rode on the float and while we were on that float, waving and having fun, it was more than I could have ever imagined.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
