In reply to: JeffsFort 's message, "IMAGINE Magazine Question for 4/15 - "It's Spring Time"" on 17:58:26 03/11/26 Wed

When I was A kid, I had too many responsibilities at home. Two younger siblings to watch out for, an overloaded mother who worked full time to keep a roof over our head and a father who started out an angry alcoholic but ended out letting his alcoholism destroy what good health he could have had, making him like another younger sibling I had to watch out for to help keep my mother from getting overloaded. You know... following about a decade of the man beating it into me that I was worthless and a disappointment. (Good Times) ::groan::

Winter was the worst as we would be stuck inside the house the majority of time but in the spring, I got a break. The kids could play in the yard or go to a friend's house to play. I occasionally got to hang out with one of my best friends, even if it was just to ride bikes, skate, or toss a ball around (or at each other, LOL!) I secretly had a crush on him so I hoarded each and every memory I could with him until we eventually moved away and I lost touch. Of the memories I still look back on, the most memorable were the times we spent when the weather finally let us go outside again. To this day, spring reminds me of him and makes it that much more special.
