Making memories

 Boy, this weekend was a good one. Made lots of good memories and will post more on them later, but one really has me reeling. After everyone had left, Beth and I were visiting and David is playing with farm animals.  There's a turkey with those animals. Beth would tell him the turkey says gobble gobble and David would reply with another turkey sound. I asked her if she made that sound and she said no. I asked David to tell me what a turkey says and he made the sound again. It sounds just like a turkey call. The wooden one that uses chaulk. He was making the sound that his Poppy taught him and it was spot on. I can't quite make that sound with my mouth, but David sat in Poppy's lap and watched him make the sound. I looked at Beth and told her that he was too young to remember it, but there he was imitating Poppy's turkey call perfectly.  I can't make that sound and Beth was still trying to get him to say gobble, gobble.  I hope he does remember,  but more importantly I hope he remembers the love.
