It is a strange thing, getting older. It's not so much that I'm sad about aging, but looking around, and noticing that everyone else is also morphing on the outside-it's kind-of like a slap in the face, a shocker, the sudden realization of what's been happening all along.
The image that stays with you is the one that held you tight when you were a kid. Is it just me? It's the time before high school, when your parents were everything, and they could do no wrong. Time passes too fast, whether cliche or not, and although I would never want to go back and relive the past, I wish I could see my parents again when they were young. I always thought I had the prettiest mother, and most handsome father. I know I'm lucky to have these pictures.
