Dad's Old Neighborhood




Lief sits upon the famous rock of his childhood. Many hours were spent here with endless battles for toy army soldiers and testing grounds for model cars.

Yes. This is,in fact,the place that Lief and Yuri grew up. The place of many memories . At that time Lief was not yet Dad, but only a kid. He and Yuri ran wild through the fields, and each in their own time imagined cities and countries in the tall grass.Birthdays were celebrated and books were read aloud and laughed at together. Transformers and Tonka trucks scaled the cement patio, moving in stately coordination.Someday, perhaps, Monte will here stories from his Dad and his Uncle Yuri about their time growing up together.The strangly reassuring sound of the tree branch on the roof and the constant opening and closing noise of the sliding door.And many hugs.
