I was 8. When I was young, I always wanted to be an astronaut. Because he was the one that said we were going to the moon.
Years later, I often thought back and wondered what if he had lived.. What "Camelot" could have accomplished for this country..
I 've read every book that's EVER BEEN WRITTEN on his assassination.
How great iT WAS growing up back then.. Family's ate meals together.
Mom ALWAYS fried chicken every Sunday.. I remember going dewberry picking.. Us helping her wash then and making homemade jelly..
No one locked there doors.. We just walked into our neighbors' house.. U stayed and eat at the friends all the time..
If you misbehaved at a friends house? U GOT your butt spanked there.. Then when U got home you got spanked again..
Black and white TV, Window A/C's, Attic fans, Mom dried clothes outside on clothes line... NO Cellphones, Computers. No XBOX..
I had the coolest bicycle on the block. Streams on the handle bars, banana seat, playing cards with clothes pins in the spokes..
