Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.

When our four daughters were still young we always sat down at the dinner table each evening and ate together.

It became a time of bonding and sharing our day. Some days were filled with laughter and joy others with heated arguments, but no matter what we all sat down together again the next night.

This tradition continued until one by one they began working after school jobs then starting college and later marriage.

I am thankful for those times together and treasure all of those moments both the good and the bad.
