Woolworth
My grandmother's freshly churned butter, homemade jam, fresh tomatoes and other vegetables from the garden
Watching my grandpa make and repair things with his saw, drill, plane and bits and pieces
Big, ostentatious cars
Jobs for everyone - good jobs, union jobs, with enough pay to support a family
Front and back porches with swings and gliders
The sounds of children playing outside in every neighborhood
I miss being able to beat any boy on the playground in a race.
I miss being the kickball champ and the spelling bee champ.
I miss keeping track of the names I had picked out for my future twins in a notebook.
I miss worshipping the summer sun in a bikini and swatting the boys away like flies.
I miss being a young mother with beautiful, funny, smart kids to tuck in bed at night.
I miss feeling like my whole life was ahead of me and anything was possible.
