A Rare Family HIke

My parents have been trying to keep themselves in better shape lately so we went on a hike at Battelle Darby Creek. My parents talked about how some of paths reminded them of the paths that would lead to other villages back in Cambodia when they were young, way narrower and just dirt though. I always liked hearing how my parents grew up. My Mom told a story I hadn’t heard before. Even though there was war and danger all around she still went to go to pick mangoes at the temple near her. She laughed about how she was the only one to go since everyone was scared. That’s one thing I admire about my Mom is the joy she has even in dire situations. The story also made me remember that I come from a family of risk takers and it’s funny it was something I had to work on. But there it was in my blood all this time.
