"Let's remember everything.." [ 10 | 27 | 2009 ]

Let's take a walk down Arlington Arch; it's where these two green eyes learned to see.

Let's remember everything.

I remember the neighbors and the babysitter and the dented mailbox across the street, but more importantly, I remember my Winnie the Pooh birthday party and Redskins games on Sundays. The Oregon leaves remind me of Thanksgiving with the cousins, jumping in the leaves and sitting at those little plastic tables.

Sunday nights with chili beef and cream of celery, ritz crackers and tuna, saltines and butter. Call me nostalgic, but I don't want to forget.

We were different on some days, but we were family. I remember everything and I miss it all. Nothing has changed. Because I'm the same kid in different ways. I just want to see that house with the blue siding and the playground in the back. Shut your eyes, and you can almost see it with me.

Let's take a walk down a good memory.
