Looking Back...

I often hear that when a man starts reminishing, they usually say cuz he's already old. I think i have to admit i am.


When my daughter recently arrived from NY, not a minute that i dont hear my 2 granddaughters calling me"lolo". It felt awkward at first...but later on it became music to my ears. I heard myself telling them how their mommy Laureen and Uncle Winwin used to be when they were kids too. And that started my being "old".


Looking back, i felt like a young father again. I remember running to the bank on the day they were born to open an account itf in their names. Though it was a meager amount, it did start the "seed" that proved to be essentially useful after college. I now think that that was the best thing i did at that time.


And funny how those memories unwind spontaneously and put u in a trance-like state, soo focused unmindful that it has been three decades ago!
