From the opening paragraph I was instantly taken back in time…I have all of my elementary school class photographs with everyone standing or sitting at attention (or something resembling that) with a freshly starched shirt and bow-tie, or cowboy tie, or neatly ironed dress…every now and them I drag out the old photograph album that my late mother meticulously maintained for me, and my children I assume, and look at the photographs…my childhood immediately returns in a flash…I feel better, but am saddened that those times indeed are gone….just like the fence in the photograph life and time moves on…you may not know where it will take you but the journey becomes your life…yes, I too wish I were still sitting on a fence somewhere with childhood friends!
