Remember Then

Joslynne R Belliveau 1966 (Norwich ,Connecticut)



Remember when we were young growing up in small towns ? All the different Kids and their families moving in and out of your neighborhood . So many different mixed nationalities and from  various different walks of life . All from multiple varieties of places around the united states and other small and big countries as well .Those were the days ! Hula hoops pogo sticks slip and slides . Romper stompers and big wheels .Playing red light green light and mother may I. Innocent times yet the best never a kid could have it was the 1970 's and 80s. Bring from a big family like TV show eight is enough . Accept we were seven of us in our middle class family yet always gathering together at night weekends and holidays .Yet we had no clue that one day this end. we first lost mom then dad . Later on in life our dear brother Robert then Second oldest sister Sally to ! Where those times today lost and gone forever like the show Lost In Space .No more Eight is Enough or just us seven no more .metal roller skates with skeleton keys rolling round our neighborhood back in the days of living on brook street .First lost Josey little then. Our parents moved to Norwich town were all hell broke loose . Mom and dad split up .Then divorce came and we all split up! Still coming together on birthdays and holidays as our family grew bigger and we grew older with time passing us bye . How can we not forget those times today ! Somehow still remembering then .
