A past memory.

Old people at times remember things from the past. I will share one of mine with you. Years ago at a little league game which my sons were in an old gentlemen walked up and stood beside me. He asked if any of the players were my children. I pointed out my sons. He looked at me and said they are the future and I an the past. He smiled and said you sir are the hing. Teach your children to embrace the future and not hang on to the past. That is your responsibly do not fail because that is what will keep this country great. He smiled and walked away.
