MISSING: ONE YOUNG WOMAN

MISSING: ONE YOUNG WOMAN

I am in the process of transfering my video tapes onto DVD's. One of the tapes I wanted to transfer is the one of my children when they were little, even babies. This was originally filmed in Super 8 motion pictures, then later transfer to a video tape, and now to a DVD.

On viewing the DVD, I was touched by seeing my chidren, now all grown, when they were so small. I even cried in a spot or 2 and laughed in many spots. But the true shocker of this DVD was me! I was about 40 years younger and a hell of a lot thinner.

Was that really me? I think I can remember her, but where did she go? It was a me whose face and body reflected trust in the future, a happiness that seemed like it would never be snatched away, no thought to a body wearing out. It was me....a me of innocence and of bright dreams and hopes for the future. I longed to meet her again, if just for a little bit.

But alas, no one can go back, no one can relive their youth, no one can stop the passage of time. But where did she go? When did she leave? I guess she is truly a MIA...missing in action. I guess it would do no good to put up a missing person poster for her. Just as a person who is missing due to death, she is gone and nothing can or will be able to bring her back, but I will always miss her.
