Just For A Day~

Have you ever heard a phrase and it immediately takes you back to another time and place?  I heard someone say "I suwanee I have never in all my life heard such a thing!" today.  My grandmother would say this all the time.  I have never heard anyone else use this phrase but her.  When I heard this today I was immediately taken back to the early 70's. I was sitting on my grandmother's front porch in Kentucky watching her peel potatoes and talking all the while.   I would give anything to go back just for a day.  To be able to spend time with loved ones that are gone from this earth but still in my heart.  To have the conversations that I didn't make time for when I was younger.  The Shaw quote that "youth is wasted on the young" is so true.  They have no idea how quickly time passes and when they do - it's too late.  You can't go back - not even just for a day.
