Here's a picture of me on my 8th birthday, so many years ago....I see my brother Sol's hand sneaking in the picture. Also, I notice my left ring finger was still bandaged after I got it crushed in my classroom door. I still have a scar from that one. And there's my grandmother's typing table in the background where she tapped out the poetry collection, Mixed Emotions, which I have an original copy of.
But I digress....
Did I live in that family? Your recall is tremendous! The only thing I'm sure of about that photo, There is definitely a broom in the background rubble which points to a certain optimism on your grandmother's part and that is defintely her foot near your left elbow.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Aaron ... I hope this year's birthday celebration is a LITTLE more subdued than the one you digress on ...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day ... and the year ahead !!
