The generation below will never come back!
A generation that walked to school and then walked back.
A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street.
A generation that spent all their free time in the streets with friends.
A generation that played hide and seek when dark.
A generation that collected sports cards.
A generation that found, collected and returned empty bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each, then bought candy with the money.
A generation who bought vinyl albums to play on record players.
A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings of their life experiences as a kid.
A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days.
A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem.
A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so parents didn't know we were still awake.
A generation that is passing and unfortunately it will never return no matter how hard we try.
I loved growing up when I did. It was the best of times!
Este lunes quiero invitarlos a hacer algo: recen, recen mucho. Y reza no porque quieras pedir mucho por algo, reza porque estás AGRADECIDO de lo que tienes. De tu salud. De poder abrazar a los tuyos. De despertar un día más. Reza y simplemente da gracias, no siempre es pedir.
Hay hombres que no necesitan levantar la voz para dejar huella. Con su trabajo, sus silencios, abrazos y ejemplo construyen el hogar donde aprendimos a creer en la vida. Hoy abrazo con el alma a todos los padres. A los que están, a los que ya viven en nuestros recuerdos y a quienes cada día hacen de su amor el mejor legado.¡Feliz Día del Padre! ❤️
