Photo A Day, Day 25: Remember

Do you remember when February and April vacation seemed to last forever?

Do you remember when an hour blowing bubbles on the front porch was the most awesome hour you’d ever spent?

Do you remember when a playground with swings AND a slide was heaven on earth?

Do you remember when your idea of gourmet food was macaroni and cheese with hotdogs in it washed down with a juice box?

Do you remember when all your problems could be solved by eating a blue popsicle?

Do you remember when a kiss from Mom could cure any hurt, emotional or physical?

Do you remember when life was so exciting that you hated going to bed at night and couldn’t wait to wake up in the morning?

Do you remember when playing tag with your best friend was the best possible way to spend an afternoon?

Do you remember when reading a book all by yourself was a tremendous source of pride?

Do you remember when curling up in your dad’s lap while he told you a story before bed was your favorite part of the day?

Do you remember getting up early on Saturday morning, making yourself a bowl of Captain Crunch, and watching cartoons until your folks got up?

Do you remember catching fireflies in the backyard?

Remember.
