The beginning spike of life is birth, followed by spikes of your first word, walking, and maybe your first day of school.
Spikes continues with your first best friends, first loves, completing school, college and or entering the military.
The spikes of discovering a passion, developing a friendship to last a lifetime, with a marriage, spike, becoming a parent, with the birth of a child spike to the spike of becoming a grandparent.
With every spike, there are valley’s and death is considered a spike for families to gather to honor the spikes of a loved one’s life.
So different from the rules I was raised with:
Sit down and don’t touch.
Be quiet and don’t draw attention.
Be happy with what you have.
