Fireside Memories As he sat next to the fire, watching the flames flicker, it put him into a type of trance that brought back memories of how times used to be. He takes a sip from his coffee mug filled with hot cocoa. His mind starts to think of his kids when they were younger. He remembers the good times and then some bad. He starts to wonder if he was too hard on them. Maybe he did not show enough love. He tries to deduct the reason for his kids not calling. It had been well over a year since he last talked to either of his sons. The last time he talked to his oldest was the last time he had talked to either of them. It was right after their grandfather, his father, had died.
