"I’ll Be Seeing You"–
Reincarnation. Is there such a thing?
Who knows for sure. All I know is I am here, now. If I lived before, I don’t know. Will I return as someone else? Will I know if I do? Unanswered questions common to the human mind, I reckon.
All I know about is living now the best way I know how. Whatever else there is, whatever else there may be . . . will be.
BUT . . .
There it is again. That song. On Easy Listening.
They play it often, but that’s okay with me because it is one of my favorites. That and White Cliffs of Dover. So many others, too, from the WWII era but these are my BFF (Best Favorites Forever).
We didn’t have a car for much of my early childhood. Mom and I would ride the bus to Woodward (in Detroit, Michigan) and take a streetcar down to the RKO Theater to meet my dad on a Friday night, eat sandwiches and hot fudge sundaes at Sanders next to the theater, and then watch TWO movies with cartoons and News in-between.
Then we would take the streetcar and bus back home. Usually a couple of times a month. Beautiful memories.
But the feelings in my spirit/soul are so strong, so deep – when I hear this music. My heart is squeezed so tight, and hurts so good, it pushes the water out my eyes. Every time. No matter where. No matter when.
Almost like I was there . . . once . . . and I am remembering my soldier love.
Normal childhood remembrances of movies and music of the times?
Maybe, maybe not . . .
