I remember when I stood to say the pledge of elegance every morning in school.
I remember when at noon the National Anthem played on the radio every day.
I remember all my friends I served with wish all could be here today.
I remember when God, no matter what faith, was treated with reverence.
I remember when we could celebrate holidays for what they were and saying Merry Christmas was not considered wrong at work.
I remember when right from wrong was clearly defined by my parents and when I crossed that line, a spanking did not mean the police were going to arrest my parents for abuse.
I remember when adults were treated with respect from a yes sir and yes ma'am.
I remember when open discussion in school was allowed and you teachers actually taught from defined lesson plans, not from politicians who think one size plan fits all.
I remember passbook savings at banks.
I remember full service gas stations as the norm.
I remember my parents and that they loved me and I loved them.
I remember being a kid and wishing I was grown up...I wish I had taken more time to enjoy being a kid.
These are some of the things that I remember growing up.
I am tired of looking to the future of what life will bring. I am here today, my family is here today, I may never pass this way again and I may never have the chance to tell my friends how much they mean to me, how I cherish what you give to my life being who you are.
When life hits you in the face square on and reminds you of just how precious things are...take the time to notice.
What are the things you remember that you miss today?
