We are born, brought up, schooled, then spread our wings. Whether you fly or not depends on all that have gone before. Are you ready to take the next step?

Years later, you wonder what had happened to whoever, and the school reunion shows up. You meet your old school pals, and their better halves, and maybe some kids as well. While you are in town you meet up with next door neighbours, and other friends, and find quite a lot of them having left town too, to where you have no idea.

What happened to all these people, that you have lost contact with. You realise that you miss those days, but know that you cannot have it back.

Move forever forward, as back is not on the cards anymore!!!!

Well, Have no contacts from my schooldays anymore, but I live only 5 km from the city where I was born, and have been moving to a new house 6 times, all in the same area.
But now I live in this house for almost 20 years (1st of may is the day...)

I miss who my old friends were when I see their married dead eyes. And I think to myself there has to be a happy medium between them and my dad's long list of lovers who eventually leave him and his excessive personality.

Yes, and you say to yourself, I will never do the same, ever!!!!! Time tends to go full circle, and you are part of that circle, or the instigator.

you mean USA? Well, they created a war against Spain. USA took Cuba, Puerto Rico, Phillipines

from Spain. USA then, freed Cuba, Philipines, but not Puerto Rico. In 1917, USA made us

US citizens to shipped Puerto Rican men legally to a foreigner war, I mean Europe WW1.

Then came WW2, Korea, Vietnam, etc. This is part of our sad history, that begun in 1493, with Spaniards

landing.
