Re: Would you like to travel back to your childhood for a day?
I'd like to make a few stops along the path of childhood.
One stop would be to spend some time with my Dad. I would love an opportunity to try to know him better. He was gone a lot overseas during my childhood and he died of cancer when I was a teenager.
Another stop would be to spend time playing board games on the summer porch with my maternal grandmother, soaking up her humor and her wisdom.
A third stop would be a visit to my paternal grandmother's house in Tennessee for the chance to memorize and remember all the salt and pepper shakers displayed on a corner shelf in her kitchen, and for a chance to listen to her quiet humming while she prepared meals.
I'd like to play another butt-kicking game or two of Red Rover in 5th grade and this time, I'd bring along some of my awesome human player FIRST friends to play with me and win. Total.
I can still 'smell' places in my memory and that brings a contentment, but a brief visit with my loved ones and friends would be very nice.
