It’s strange indeed how memories can lie dormant in a man’s mind for so many years. Yet those memories can be awakened and brought forth fresh and new, just by something you’ve seen, or something you’ve heard, or the sight of an old familiar face.
– Wilson Rawls, Where the Red Fern Grows

Day 6’s prompt is:

This isn’t the first map I’ve drawn of my childhood neighborhood.  Each time I draw a new map and compare it to an old one there are new memories and little changes.  What I’ve realized is that the more years that go by…..the less I remember……but every once in a while something new will bring back an old memory and it’s like a flood of new awakened memories.

If you have trouble remembering enough to draw a map think about reaching out to someone you knew as a child and see what they remember!
