I've never been to my childhood home, but I have been to the neighborhood. The home wasn't there any longer. I know the neighborhood was completely different than I remembered it. I wonder how many times that happens. Thank you for sharing this with us. I enjoyed reading.

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Gypsy.
-Your notes are appreciated.
-You wrote a very good one line haiku
and create a vivid word picture of
your visit to your first home and hearing
the laughter of your younger self.
-You say a lot in a few words and
show the impact of visiting your first home.
-Well done; thanks for sharing it.

I don't know whether you have journeyed to your old childhood, but the ashes of our past can cover and disguise what or where we come from, beautifully written, blessings Roy

You captured that nostalgia we feel when we go back to our childhood place. Though the walls are silent our memories hear that laughter from the past. Great job!

I felt the innocence in this. Our first home as a child in most cases is our safe place. But of course, it being a day after Friday the thirteenth and coming up on Halloween I took it down another route. The ghost of s child the echo of its laugh permanently heard in the house. Well done. Gretchen

    Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

    Hearing bygone laughter can be creepy but if it's
    A memory of your own laughter when you were a kid it's just nostalgic. It's a zen concept...everything is interconnected. (*÷*)
