Went for a trip down memory lane today.got a dose of reality instead:sadwalk:....

[warthog]

I went to the cemetary this morning where my parents are buried in Mount Clemens to decorate their graves-I was born in Troy;and lived there till I was 11;and my aunt and uncle built a home over on 15 Mile;just east of Livernois a few miles away from my house when we lived there...They have since torn down my old house and school(A bunch of condos stand in my school's place now)My aunt and uncle died a few years ago;and I heard their kids-my cousins-had sold their old house-they didnt live in the area anymore-So I decided to swing on by and check out my uncle's house;where SO MANY of my fondest memories of growing up took place.....Imagine my dismay when all I seen where the house stood was a vacant lot...House;garage;breezeway...ALL GONE...torn down...I guess its true when they say you cant go home again..Progress is good;I guess-In this case though;it sure is a 2 edged sword..

Time marches on, df, and changes come! Really causes the heart to drop though when you remember things as they were and they aren't there or are not the same. When I go back to the farm, everything has changed so much up and down the creek where I used to live that it is sad but we change and everything else changes too! Just remember the good times and forget the rest! Memories cannot be erased unless you want them to be!

God Bless!
