Fireworks Galore!
We went to a neighboring town last night to see some pre-4th fireworks. Dusk came and the sky lit up with color! Everyone cheered. A little kid behind us kept pointing to one particular burst saying “That’s my favorite!”
I remember when I was a little kid, my mother and aunt took me, my sister and cousins to Coney Island to see the Fourth of July fireworks. We stood on the boardwalk eagerly waiting for the first burst to brighten up the sky. It was something I looked forward to. I loved it. I still do.
These fireworks were on the early side. Tonight there will be more in a different local town. And then on the actual 4th, we’ll be able to see the official colorful celebration. I hope that this is all a reminder of the freedom that our country stands for.
May politics be put aside. Let’s see all Americans, regardless of our differences, as one people. And may we all enjoy the brilliance of light and color and connectedness in America.
