Beautifully done. Should we meet, I'll buy you a Philly cheese steak. I'm 55 and that was my world, too

God, I miss America.

“...I’m 55 and that was my world, too...”

I suspect it was MOST of our world, for the folks out here, brother.

There’s a whole lot to be said for growing up in row homes in Philly; even though we didn’t have much, we appreciated what we had.

And we had Family and a neighborhood OF families to sustain us through hard times.

I miss those people... and I remember their names, to this day. Frozen in time, as they were then.

They were there for my Mother when dad had the stroke. His VFW and American Legion brothers; his friends from work - all vets.

I will NEVER forget them.
