images drifted slowly through my mind , memories that preceded my place of calm and made up the childhood of which i was so fond warm summer days spent by the swimming pool , the smell of steaks and sausage cooking on the open fire trips to the drive-in under a clear sky , watching movies that were not as important as the actual time spent with loving parents lying under the table when gran visited , satisfied from the evening of incredible food and shared laughter how could i have forgotten these things ?
