I was going through a box of old pictures the other day and came across a little folder of school pictures. I mean, these were really ancient! The children in these photos were from my grade school days. I sat down and turned the plastic picture sleeve holders and went back a few decades.
Funny, the memories associated with these children. As young as they were, they had distinct personalities. Some were shy; some were aggressive. Some were friends and some, well, let’s face it, were not my favorite people. I wondered about them all. Was this one still among the living? Did that one continue to be a bit arrogant? Had that pretty, dark-haired girl grown up and had a much better life than the one she had as a child?
Anyway, old photos bring back lots and lots of memories. Some are good; some aren’t. Each picture represents a story and life experience, and, life is the ultimate teacher.
