Lovely memories Eric, you have been blessed indeed! Life was so much simpler back then, and children appreciated the things our parents did for us way more than today's youth who demand material things!
I'm so glad that you have such good memories, and that you can share this blog with your Mom <3
It was so much simpler and material expectations weren't nearly as high. I can't believe how many "things" are showered on children these days. For an average birthday kids today get about 5x the amount of presents we used to receive on Christmas, I don't think they're better off because of it either. Thank you, Lizelle! I hope you're having a good week.
