Oohh memories

So yes tonight was a definite walk down memory lane. The elementary school which I spent 5 years of my life is getting torn down this summer. It is sort of bittersweet. I see the need for a new school but seeing part of your past torn down is hard. And not to mention it is where I indeed met Ramon. Ms Hall's 4th grade class. He says I was too busy being a teacher's pet and talking that I did not pay attention to him. However, I did. In both 4th and 5th grade. As a matter of fact, I wrote in my diary waaay back then about him. So he cannot argue this point. I indeed tried to talk to him. It was him that would not talk back. LOL.. Anyhow the rest is history. And walking through those halls reminded me of how simple life was back then. We did our homework by hand. We respected others and our teachers. We used manners. ( most of the time.. ) We made friends. And some who are still friends to this day. We had loving families who were there for almost if not all of our programs. We were kids. We weren't expected to be all grown up, even as 5th graders. Some of my best memories are from that school. I can look at the yearbook and tell you the names of almost everyone without looking at the names. We have watched everyone grow up ( with the help of Facebook ) get married, and have kids of their own. Still the memories linger.. And we have lost some classmates. They will never be forgotten. And I will always go back in my mind and remember times we all shared together.
So yea, it is bittersweet. But though the building and materials are going to be gone and years from now a lot of people wont even remember what the building looked like, the memories won't be. Nobody can tear those down. I only hope Drew has the same experience that I did throughout school. I hope he makes new friends. I hope he respects his teachers and everyone. I hope he mistakes, because thats how you learn. I hope he knows he has a loving family behind him in no matter what he does. That is my wish for him. It may be simple, but I like the simple sorts of stuff. I guess I am a simple girl=) And I hope to make it a simple world as much as I can for Drew. =)

Central, thanks for the memories. I will cherish them always!

Much Love=)
