The generation below will never come back! A generation that walked to school and then walked back. A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street. A generation that spent all their free time in the streets with friends. A generation that played hide and seek when dark. A generation that collected sports cards. A generation that found, collected and returned empty bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each, then bought candy with the money. A generation who bought vinyl albums to play on record players. A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings of their life experiences as a kid. A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days. A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem. A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so parents didn't know we were still awake. A generation that is passing and unfortunately it will never return no matter how hard we try. I loved growing up when I did. It was the best of times!
