So true for me & my lifelong friends. We're in our 60s.
My little brother LOVED Star Wars & he was savvy enough to save the original toys.
My "in the moment" memories include playing outside with my cousins and friends until the street lights came on; going to see live concerts without spending hundreds of $$, being in the pep band for hs football and basketball games 🏀. We had crazy themed hats different for every game.
I think social media has made all of us less in person in the moment. Enjoy these treasured times with your beloved granddaughter.
Michael, ya brought back a flood of memories -- experiences and adventures that shaped who I am. Simple events I have shared in the doing and telling with my children, grandchildren, and more recently, with my great-grandchildren. Thank you
One of the most important things I taught my son is that some day, when his children are grown with their own families, he will be sitting in his rocker, maybe in another city, in the company of his memories of their childhood. Time and life are fleeting, so build as many memories as you can. There will come a time when they are almost all you have.
This is a great piece! The same experiences were available here in Western Illinois, beside the Illinois River, and close to the Mississippi. They floated on down the river to everyone.
I lived in Oxford, MS, in the early ‘60’s. Fourth and fifth grade. Spartacus, collecting chinstraps, crew cuts, James Meredith, Donnie Kessinger, Jake Gibbs, William Faulkner, little league….. Thanks so much.
It is a somewhat tragic fact of life that we must live a great deal of it before we start to appreciate its wonder and magic.
