;-)What can I say, I'm naturally verbose. ;-)
But I so feel you.
The reality, unfortunately, is that when my childhood best friend and I actually revisited our childhood homes, I didn't recognize a single tree or plant that was there in my youth.
The lush jungle that my mother planted and nurtured was gone. The new owners had cut down everything, covered it all in concrete, and even covered the gorgeous oak hardwood floors with wall-to-wall carpet. Sigh.
And when we visited her home, which was twice the size of mine, her first comment was, "It's so little!!!"
It's amazing what a difference there is in perspective between childhood and adulthood.
