Then we are soulmates @fitinfun in shoes. Never once did I think about not having any shoes at all. Grown ups just didn't understand back then. As long as you had some food, clothing, and shelter, everything else was secondary. Didn't neccessarily had to be the best. Amazing is the fact that I never knew where my parents got the new Oxfords from. They never said. Kids tended to have tunnelvision and think the situation or emotion they were feeling would last forever. Thank God it passes and we come through the other side much wiser.
