The first kiss, the first sexual encounter, your first love, are memories that are filled with excitement, fear and uncertainty. Years have rolled by and your memories are fresh as dew, as if they were just moments before.

Being naïve and nervous, venturing into your growth at a speed faster than light.

First job, first car, first marriage, first child; Struggling day in and day out to finally avoid that foreclosure notice on your home.

Heartaches, death, illnesses, regrets, baptism, relocation, children going off to war,

Stock market crash, earthquakes, vehicle accidents, retirement funds, 401K, bankruptcy.

Mail fraud, credit card solicitations, telemarketers, thunderstorms, blizzards, weddings.

Blowing out candles on a birthday cake, making a wish…, I wish, I wish for a few more milestones.
