I Remember...

I remember frizzy Afro hair...
I remember "skip its" and pogo balls...
I remember having my tonsils taken out when I was 7 and waking up to a Minnie Mouse puppet waving hello in my face....
I remember sharing a room with my sister and always "sshhhhh" her because I couldn't fall asleep...
I remember Mrs. Kaufman, my 5th grade English teacher, who would reward us with toys from "happy meals"...
I remember watching "Raid of the Antebi"in 3rd grade and being terrified for days!
I remember the feeling each time I hugged my parents goodbye to go back to school out of town...
I remember "say say, my playmate" and "have a coke and a smile"...
I remember the dentist always telling me to floss and me coming back with cavities :(
I remember getting my braces off...
I remember Thanksgiving with the Fishers...
I remember Aunt Sara...
I remember A/S/L ...
I remember Braves Games...
I remember falling down my friends stairs that led to her backyard and getting a huge gash in my shin that eventually led to a big ol' scar :(
I remember "Faces By Faye"...
I remember watching my father take his last breath and crying out to the Dr. to check his pulse again, just to be sure...
I remember being in denial...
I remember being angry at G-d...
I remember acceptance...
I remember you.
