For Days i went around beating myself to death with Snow chains saying i should have been playing Bridge when in happened instead of working the key seems to be what do kids remember about their childhood and what is unimportant enough to target. They Don t remember the afternoon when there was nothing to do and you hosted a tally pull for the neighbourhood kids and Mike got his retainer caught in the Taffy and they never had such a fun Lime. They Don t remember that you served on a committee that was instrumental in keeping a sonic hamburger drive in from building on the site of the town s first cemetery. They do remember the night you Sal in the rain to watch them play Lor 36 seconds in a football game. They rarely remember the mundane events that seem so important to adults like ironed to shirts order daily crises routine tears disagreements and decisions. They Are taken for granted. They do remember moments. They recall rare hashes when you did something different fun risky unexpected. They remember the times when you looked at them and did t see something that needed washing or fining. Ii a child never receives that part of you then you deserve guilt Lor the rest of your life.
