There were many a lunch date between my parents and me. The earliest one I can remember was one during a school day in Magna. It was just Dad, Mom, Me, and maybe Charity..can't remember. They surprised me by pulling me out of school for the afternoon. We ended up at the movies (treats and all) to see SO I MARRIED AN AX MURDERER. I was tickled to be singled out to enjoy such a fun day alone with my parents.
When Ryan, Emily and I moved to Phoenix for a few years we (usually dad, mom, me & em) spent at least one or two lunches a week together. I remember many of those visits were to KFC! I think I might love that place as much as dad did.
Then there was the year of Disneyland. Dad would meet up with us at the outdoor mall in Irvine. (No KFC, but there was Johnny Rockets.) We would eat and the go ride the carousel.
These were precious times to me, because we just enjoyed each other. It wasn't necessarily glamorous, just wonderful to be close and laughing, watching my kids grow up.
