A memory is...

By Lea Dumoulin Age 12, Grade 6 Lennoxville Elementary School

Amemory is like a colourful sunset at the end of every day. It comes and leaves but it will never be the same ever again. Like your memories with all your family. The emotions you feel while being with people you love will never be the same even if you are with them again.

My Mamie told me about a really special memory. When she was my age, every Friday she and her mom, dad and her sister Joanne would go to hockey games. She was always excited on Friday morning for that particular night. She would feel happy and lucky to get this chance because not a lot of her friends would go every week to a hockey game. They would always go and see the Castors. Players on that team would live far away from here so a lot of them would have a room at my Mamie’s place where they would live because they were also going to school here in Lennoxville. Her memory hasn't changed since then. 20 years later my

Mamie had my mother as a child and she decided that she still wanted to give the players from the team a room in her house so her daughter would be raised like she was.

A memory is like a book in the library. It will be read and read by many people, but it will always be the same story every time and make more people smile and have the same experiences. Ten years later the team wanted to play a last game before they stopped forever. My family and I went to see their last game in Montreal and then all the players came to say thank you to my mom, my great-grandparents and my grandma. Afterwards, we all took a picture, and they posted it in the Montreal journal. For me, it was really important to live something that every special person in my family had lived. This is how the memory went from generation to generation exactly four times.
