School Days 1961-London,Ontario



School Days 1961
Holy Rosary Catholic School
London,Ontario
Some, but not all seem to be having fun.!
Bittersweet?
 
Every time as I gaze at this picture I forget more of whom you are.
But, it was a good year, for some than others and I hope, it got better for you. 

All of you should be Grandparents by now,
with a few notable expections of course.

 I was sweet on most the girls in my class,(I bet you are still as beautiful) ,but I am sure you had  boy friends,such is life.

I salute you people for fond memories and laughs,
this is one of many milestones for the rest of your life.

Thank you all.

wait I have a , p.s for you,
when you stare long enough, a thought come to mind.

P.S.,

I found a old picture from public school and as I was looking at all those kids in their final year of care free living as a kid and taking a step into their own future, my mind began to turn and generate all kinds of scenarios that they could have chosen or befallen them in the next 50 years.

Of course I am in this picture as well and you know I feel like an ageless wizard, as I look at these faces I see their life’s flash before my eyes. I know everything about them, all the joys, the achievements, the sadness and in some cases some of them pass before their time as their faces fade away from view while others remain.

 I get this theory from my life as it has unfolded and developed and so using this same analogy I presume they had similar paths. And if I have offened anyone, I am sorry,its a story.



As I gaze at all these fresh young faces I wonder,

Definitely, you have been thru a lot ,

and now some of you have your grandchildren in your custody.

You are separated from your spouse,

You are remarried and a new set of kids,

Your spouse is still your best friend,

You and your spouse lead separate lives, my money,your money,

You are living alone, and happy about,

You are living alone and not happy,

You feast like a king or queen,

You eat like a hobo,

You are living in group home,

you are living with your kids,

your kids and their kids are living with you,(because you need each other),

you are living with your parents and caring for them,

your parents are living and caring for you, (happens), of course,

you are candidate for a nursing home,

you are on welfare or supported income,

you have a winter home and go there for 6 months,

you haven’t retired, you work at a fast food place,

you are retired and own half of your home town,

you drive a exclusive SUV its new and its black or white,

or you drive a heap, its older and rusting,

or you don’t own a car, even better,

your kids don’t care about you and you don’t care a shit about them,

your best friend is the pet cat or dog,

you love your grandchildren, no conditions,

you are glad to be alive and still able face each day with a smile

what you did all night, takes all night to do and in your dreams,.

you will drink a glass of wine and enjoy it for its character, at any time..

You enjoy watching the BBQ shows on YouTube ,……well, stretching ??

You are glad about all lot of things, especially, that you can write this to share.



Thanks, call you later,
Bruce the Moose.
