Old Neighbours

Fourty years go by in the blink of an eye then suddenly a name from your distant past has the power to pull you back..way back, and you find yourself awash in childhood memories; threads that somehow have woven themselves into the very fabric of your life though the needlework must have been done by brilliant invisible elves whose nimble fingers seem to have sewed so fast and furiously that you never even noticed any work going on. Now when you look back you see that the masterful stitches have left an unbelieveable product which can only truly be appreciated by the characters who inhabit the tapestry that is your life. Seldom do we get a second chance to revisit a magical childhood and retrace our footsteps along those amazing streets of long ago.
The fact that you get another chance to once more stand beside one of those with whom you share a significant part of your past is the best gift of all.
