Memories – IF

August 30, 2008

There are so memories that one can illustrate for this prompt!

One of my favorite memories is my first love, which I like to call “Baby Love”

Who doesn’t remember the first time they fell in love? Whether you were 5 or 95, you don’t forget it!

My first love was when I was five years old and he was 10! His name was Al and as a little girl I used to follow him around, because there was something about him that made my heart sing! Of course, he always told me to, “Get lost kid!”
I know I fell out of love with him by the first grade. Ahhh, such is love, lol! Isn’t Love Grand?

Peace and love to you all as you relive wonderful memories!

    Yes, I remember those stirrings that were the ‘crushes’ of my youth… those girls that never knew I existed. Had I but been bold enough back then… But then everything works toward a purpose… Call it fate or destiny…
    Anyway, I really like the textures here… and the reminder of days gone by.

    Memories of love. Wonderful image. Thanks for your comments. My daughter is only seven (she looks more mature than that in the illustration), but she’s a little perfectionist, and her mother isn’t. Maybe she wishes I was. Hee Hee!
