MOVIES! Well to be exact Stars Wars!!!
Going to see Stars Wars with my Dad and brother is one of my lasting memories of my father. He was killed in a car accident that following December. I remember feeling so grown up! I was 8 and my brother was 7! None of our friends went. My parents are sci-fi buffs so they went then decided we could go. I remember being surprised when mom told us because I really wasn't sure what it was or why they wanted us to go BUT it was amazing!!! In those days we didn't go to the movies much and they were not on tv and NO ONE could afford to buy them for betamax! Yeah, I'm that old! So off we went and that was that!
So a few years later Mom packed us off to see The Empire Strikes Back!!! I was now old enough to be in love with Han Solo!! The ending was hard for my bearly teen heart to take!! Once again we had the best time as a family! It was just the three of us but we had a ball!
SO by this time we were dying to see it and our Jr. High friends were fans and so everyone had to go! Well we had my step-dad and his two kids in the family now so off all 6 of us went to the movies! The one and only family movie the six of us went to, my brother and I were too old for family time. And going to the rodeo was the only other family outing I was "forced" to go on! (that is teen Lisa talking) But the movie was great!!! And they all lived happily ever after!
I have to admit I haven't gotten into the new ones. I know I should but I just cannot. It isn't the same when you can watch this stuff daily on TV!
Those were the days.....
Lisa, I was so sorry to hear about your dad! My daddy was my movie buddy too.

Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your Father and how very sad for your family.
It must have been a lovely and special tradition going to see the Star Wars movies as a family. Neat to be able to remember, happy memories and I loved hearing about them.
Have a happy weekend
Hugs

Hello sweet Lisa - thank you for sharing your memories with us. I'm sorry that you lost your Dad at such a young age, but I'm very glad that you have some happy memories of time spent with him. Because of that, Star Wars will always have a special meaning to you. I saw SW with my Dad when it came out too. He passed away just a couple years ago of cancer. I'm so thankful for those memories!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the party!
Blessings,
Marie
