nostalgia or just fond memories

There are many times during the course of a day or week I find myself with a person or place on my mind that I haven't seen in a while.Sometimes the places are still standing and sometimes they are gone as though they never were there.Its the same with the people that cross my mind some are just folks which I have not seen in a long time and others have gone on to their reward . Today I thought of our neighbors we had when i was growing up in Ramer,Al ."Sue" and William Stephens but mostly i thought of "Aunt Sue " and how good she was to me. She never had any children of her own but she treated me with as much love as a mother would at times.I treasure the trips to Montgomery we took together. She always took me to Wendy's to eat ,she liked to eat there . It was not the things she bought me or the places she took me,but how nice she treated me and how proud she was of my accomplishments .She truly enjoyed spending time with me ,as I did with her .I am still touched that one of the last things she said before she left this life .She said to William "I wonder where Wayne is ".I always stopped and visited with her long after I had moved from Ramer .She is a bright spot in my memories ,one I will treasure .
