The Magical Road
Memory & Nostalgia
Childhood & Youth
Grandma Stella reminisces about the breathtaking beauty of a road she discovered forty years ago, where she used to tell children it was magical. Despite the passing of time, those children who are now adults still refer to it as their magical road.
We have this beautiful road that takes us out of the highway on our way home. I used to tell all the children in my life that we are going through the magical road. The branches overhead seem to hold hands above us. The leaves change colors with each season.
In winter, the snow covers the bare branches as if to warm them. It is a road of breathless beauty. Forty years have passed since I first discovered that road. All those children who are in their advanced adulthood still call it their magical road.
