Fifteen seconds of pure childhood.
Have you ever come across an old box or tube that you stored items from your pass? Well this weekend I had that exact event happen to me. I was getting Christmas stuff out of storage for my mother this weekend, when I came across a few boxes that had items from my past. When I opened the boxes it was like a little kid opening present on Christmas morning. I reverted to being a child for fifteen seconds jumping up and down, while I clutch the box of classic horror movie figures oh so close to my chest. Not realizing that my parents and wife where their looking and laughing in surprise of the actions I was doing at the moment I found my long lost box of horror figures.
We all have items that take us back to a time of innocence and childhood wonder. I was able to experience this event thank to my parents. As I kept opening these boxes I started to come across things that I thought I had lost due to all the moving I did after I got out of the Navy. It was very exciting finding autographed items from my beloved teams, the Oakland Raiders football, and Los Angeles Kings goalie mask. I also was surprised to see my West Pac cruise book from 1995-96. But it’s also the funny thing you might have stored from you passes. Or the old records, tapes, pictures that make you realize how fast time pass by once you start getting older in life.
It’s really cool to take a trip back in time when you come across old boxes that you put a way. I never realized how small little things can take a person back in time and remember childhood memories or open an imagination that you have forgotten about as we get older. So hopefully you will be able to be lucky enough to find an old box with items that might take you back in item, just like I was able to experience this Sunday afternoon. But the people I really had to thank for being a great were my parents. If it was not for them I would have not be able to take a trip back in memory lane by them keep my stuff in their storage area. They could have thrown my stuff away but they took care of it no matter how long it was stored.
