FACES FROM THE PAST

Not a one of us can fail to recall special friends,
relatives, or acquaintences from the past. Whether it
is a 'best friend' with whom you spent hours, or a
special person that invokes memories of a particular
event,there are those that leave a lasting impression on
the heart and mind.

Botie Chitty, Hershel Hires,and Ann French are just a
few of the people that left their mark on the Millers.

Perhaps those of my generation will remember 'Aunt
Dina', the elderly lady that lived in back of the Wesley
home in Lakeland. I can still taste her freshly baked
goodies and see the twinkle in her eye as one or several
of us pounded on her door.

Many of us count a long past parent as that special
person. Perhaps memories of a mother reading a story in
a special time of togetherness, or a father playing
catch, even though he had work to do elseware.

Some of us have been able to keep in touch with some of
those special people, others of us have lost touch and
sometimes wish we could revist those who are lost to us.

It makes little difference as the memories can revive
feelings of joy, sorrow,and love. We only have to reach
into the recesses of our memories to relive those days
of innocence and freedom.
