About
It did get worse. The house I lived in on Connecticut was situated right here. Ok, my old diamond wasting away and Luigi's gutted and Webster school in disrepair but still functional hurt. The drive-in all but a wasteland staggered me but this, my old house, the house I lived in when I received my first Major Matt Mason toy… GONE! was the final coffin nail. In the earlier photo of me holding the army tank (remember it?) I was standing in front of the house which use to be here---- My early life had been torn and shredded: erased. Life passed… my memories ached… It was time to leave town.
Yes do take a picture of it. You never know when something will be gone. There have been places over the years that I've meant to get back to to take a picture of & then they are gone & it is too late. I guess that reason is part of the reason I became so interested in photography. Each picture is a visual documentation of what we saw & have experienced, all for the pleasure to share with others.
Oh geesh, Shel! A house is a house... a tree can never be replaced. There is a tree just a few moments from where I now sit, up above the cold Illinois prairie wiff the wind howlin' outside, where me cousin and I had a tree fort. And we clambered up there to spy on all the world around. I haven't thought about that tree in ages. I may have to get down the road a bit and snap a pic of the thing.
I've gone past my old childhood house (in Trenton Georgia) a few times over the years. It basically looks the same, but to see that the HUGE maple at the corner of the driveway was gone, that was what was heartbreaking for me. My sis & I played in the tree everyday, no matter the weather. I swear it seemed like it was so big that we could have seen what every kid in the neighborhood was doing. I couldn't imagine it being gone. So sorry about your loss.
well done to leave the town,those houses and play yards are just tools,they have been created to fulfill a certain job,for you to use them,it is OK to attached to them,to like them,and who dose not ? I f they meant to be still viable and attractive,then we have to see the huts of Noah or Jacob are in their places,isn't enough for you to have memory of them alive,and never to be erased from your heart and soul,it is enough for me, best wishes, Saad.
