She tells her own story and it makes you think about your own. Mine would be of a “BLESSED” life here in Chestertown all my life where you feel like you matter at some point. Memories of your childhood being raised by wonderful parents, living in a neighborhood that was very family friendly and all the kids got along and had ballgames on one of the empty lots. We still have a strong bond all these years later. Raising a family with a wonderful husband and the sad memories of losing loved ones over the years. Being a widow now and the children have moved away I can think back to the good ole days. Thank you Laura for giving me a reminder of how lucky my life has been!!!

Oh I love your memories, Melinda. Yes about the butterflies!! I had forgotten that. And the picture of you running through the clothesline…that’s not one I’ll soon forget! Thanks for writing.

First come to mind: Age 12, wrestling with a bigger playmate, when she landed on me and bent my leg backwards. My mothers response: don’t scream like that, what will the neighbors think?

Another, similar age, running full bore through the back yards, hit the unseen clothesline which bounced me backwards and left a hang mans bruise on my neck. I didn’t cry.

Always mow the grass in circles, a quick tug when the sunny bites, don’t hold a butterfly by it’s wings cause it won’t be able to fly when you let it go,sobs upon the realization I had in effect, “killed” the butterfly.

So much to think about!

Thank you
