What was your favorite #childhood toy?
The other day, I watched, “The Pursuit of Happyness.”
There was a scene in the movie where Christopher dropped his favorite toy on the way to the bus stop.
Tears streamed down his face.
I imagined how he must have felt.
A part of him was lost in the middle of the street, seconds away from being crushed by the oncoming traffic.
A part of his childhood he may never get back.
I almost shed a tear myself.
This scene reminded me of my childhood.
My favorite toy.

Vroom.
Vroom.
Vroom.
The series of sounds I would make with each turn.
There was something about this car that made feel … alive.
Controlling it gave me a sense of ownership over my life.
I made me feel like I was at the top of the mountain.
Looking back at it, I am very fortunate to have a set of parents who helped fulfill a childhood dream of mine.
This toy impacted me in more ways than I could count.
It gave me everything I needed at the time.
The toy that keeps on giving.
Reminding me to remain a kid and not take life too seriously.
