As I write this, each memory washes over me like a warm salve, serving to remind me how lucky I am to have at least experienced those glorious days. Today’s generation will never know the joy of watching television with ten other families, or savouring a small sliver of Dairy Milk with siblings and parents. But the fact that such a generation, such a time once existed gives me hope. Like old fashions come back as today’s hip trend, who knows… one day old lifestyles may become the norm. And the children of today just might get a glimpse into the simple life of the past that brought great joys.
