Dinner

I miss the days when I knew that dinner would be at six and that I wouldn't have to be the one making it. I miss home cooked meals. I miss the way that my family would all come together and eat, we would talk about our day, about school or work or whatever. Sunday dinners are the best because that is when we would talk about what we learned in church. I miss hearing what went on in Primary or what the lesson was about in Relief Society at home.

Now I sit in my bedroom and eat Pasta Roni while studying for a midterm, trying not to panic at the ten minutes I lost to studying while making dinner. I eat while listening to a lecture in class because I don't have time to eat my lunch before dashing off to another class or to work or wherever.

So, for all of you out there, take time to cherish those moments with your family. Maybe spend a couple more minutes around the dinner table, or talk to your mom while she makes dinner. Don't let those precious moments pass by. Because, while I LOVE my Pasta Roni, it can never replace those home cooked meals and family dinners.
