Snow Time Like The Present!

Very touching, the memories of good and bad, the beautiful snow pictures, I always admire the nice weather as over here can never see snow, When I read on, I don’t know why I feel sad but also smiling, mixed feeling I think.

Very cold here too. Better put a smiling face on it…Very enjoyable read. Thank you.

Never enjoyed a snow fall, wish i could be there!!

Great Article!!!

That was a wonderful, touching article that, despite the many tragedies you describe, is filled with life and joy and hope.

Thank you,

Very inspiring indeed! You have captured your bittersweet memories of winter so well… Admirable!

You do not waste ink, my man.
Sometimes we would use flattened cardboard boxes, like the kind stoves and such came in, and fly down the hill. Nothing like sledding. No Control, no front, just down. Fun city.

This is a great story. I’m sorry to hear about your loss. That is a terrible thing to go through. I did think it was sweet that your son was excited over the sledge. Great pics too.

Thanks for posting, I am now choking back tears as i head out to shovel my walk..with my kids,

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I felt a few tears start to build up when you described how much loss you have endured and felt so pleased that you have had your fair share of happiness. I couldn’t help grinning at ‘Placcy Bags’ I have a feeling you might come from the same part of the world as me.

You have a positive way of looking at things. Well done my friend, snowtime could be cold but it has its benefits.

looks like a winter wonderland

Very cool. Nice.

Very touching and true to the heart. Must have been tough to write such a personal one. But I really admire how you view the world and “its wonders”

how I wish there would be snow here too.

Very moving piece.

Well good thing summer in now here in the tropics Great post MD

That\’s a sad story about your past. I\’m glad you can get through of it and become a happy man now.

Great post!

Good on ya Magicdarts:)

Snow has hit many places because our climate has changed drastically.

great post and thanx for sharing!

Beautiful story, it gave me chills about the sled be ready just in time for your father to know it. Thanks

Never built a snowman like you did because it does not snow here but good to recall chilhood.

Your outlook to project the pain and beauty in life is inspiring and encouraging. I found myself tearing up and releasing tears and smiling at the same time. That’s the true magic and happiness in life is sharing the ride with others around you. Thank you for sharing the beauty of life, love and loss with us. You are an encouragement to all who reads. Many blessings to you~

great story, When pain and sorrow enter our lives its how we respond that helps us survive then later on we can come along side other people who are going through the same thing. thanks

A lovely story, beautiful memories, some sad, but all with great meaning for you. It was a very nice written story, I enjoyed it and even that I grew up in the tropics, I made my own version of the sled, a cardboard box that went flying down the grassy high hills. The soft grass made the box go sooo fast. Thank you for bringing memories to mind.

Your family has found a way to have joy in the midst of pain. Beautifully written. Thank you so much. I am sure God is smiling every time you use that sledge.

When I came to Canada 2001 with my wife and 3 kids we’re so excited to see snow.

It brings memories, fun and happiness!

thanks for sharing such moving moments with us.

Towing your son in the sledge reminds me of a similar experience I had when my children were very young. Whenever we had heavy snowfall, we would turn our yard into a winter wonderland. Thanks for the delightful read.
