I think most of us do hang onto those memories like dying embers. Your parents may have betrayed you (as most do at one point or another) but they also gave you a great gift of memorable moments. And now, you write brilliantly of those times. (Oh, the horses! How wondrous that must have been!)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-81527031082604667302011-10-27T13:34:10.831-07:002011-10-27T13:34:10.831-07:00I want to go there now.
