1. My best memories in 2013 are always my trips to Vegas. Spending time with my favorite lady is the highlight of any trip.
My "Vegas Memories" always keep me going through tough times.
2. Mum and Step-dad restaurant incident
After years, I finally made it Florida to see my parents.
We went to visit a restaurant in Orlando...my mum and step-dad walked hand in hand into the restaurant. Upon entering, they heard Sinatra playing and my step-dad started to hum the tune (The way you look tonight) and slow danced with my mum.
Once seated, I had 3 waitresses come up and tell me how cute, how nice my parents were. All way through the meal I saw how my mum was looking at my step-dad - I realized, that after 32 YEARS of marriage, they are the definition of Love.
At the end of the meal, we ordered the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake...the Assistant Manger delivered it to us and told us it was "on the house"....not missing a beat my step-dad invited the Am and the 3 waitresses to help us eat it. No one could believe they had been married for 32 years.
When I left them at the airport, they both told me that they were getting older and reminded me to enjoy every minute you have.
2013 was a rough year; but these memories put a smile on my face and remind me to be happy, try harder and to enjoy life.
Thank you -Vegas, Thank you -My Angel and Thank you -Parents
