Bunk Beds For The Soul
It was back in the 1970′s when me and my sisters were kids, we’d take a trip every once in a while to visit our grandparents, my mom’s parents. They lived about 300 miles from us, so whenever we went there, we always stayed overnight. Back then, it was just me and my sister, my mom and my dad. Besides the obvious attention and food that was constant throughout the visit, one of the best things about the trip was being able to sleep in bunk beds that my grandparents had in a spare room.
We loved those beds; me and my sister would always take turns sleeping on the top. As soon as we found out we were going we made sure we knew who’s turn it was for the top bunk. We just couldn’t wait. Climbing up and down the ladder to the top bunk was one of the best parts. We would always take the blankets from the beds and hang them over the bottom bunk to make a fort.
I remember finding the bunk beds unusual because they seemed so sturdy and heavy to me, and they were painted white. I had never seen them painted white before, which is why I remember this so vividly.
As years went by my sister become older and more interested in staying home. Even though the top bed was mine every time she didn’t go, it was very lonely without her. It just wasn’t the same with just me there. Even without her I would still use the blankets on the bottom bunk, but this would get boring real quick by myself.
Relaxing one night in my college twin bunk bed, I got a call that my grandfather had died. This news caught me by surprised and shocked and saddened me at the same time. Those great memories suddenly filled my eyes up with tears.
