It was a bright and sunny afternoon, people filled with jubilation and exhilaration. Today was the most perfect summer day. Fireworks and carnivals. Parties.
For today was the day of celebration, a day of gratitude. For today was the day of the independence of the United States. Fourth of July. The reds and blues filled the area celebrating another year of freedom.
One particular family celebrated by staying inside and watching movies. That was their tradition. Huddling together and watching movies that may or may not be keyed in to the holidays.
