I’d only go back to visit again…..it wasn’t all that great back then. We had high inflation and high interest in the early 80’s. We had a few sad moments through the decade….remember the Challenger? The cars were underpowered and crappy….don’t want those back for everyday use. Plus….I’d really miss the Internet and todays medical technology. I only miss the music and everyone’s sense of pride….and people trying to do the right thing. Era is long gone….

The magic of music is that we always remember where we were when we first heard the music. I was newly stationed in Germany in the U.S Army with my college sweetheart bride. No kids yet. Just me and her. When I wasn't on deployment, we had a blast! This great song takes us both right back to Germany in 1985. Our first car together was a brand new 85' Audi Quattro sedan purchased in Germany. We brought it back to CONUS with us. That Audi lasted well into the 90's until we finally wore it out hauling kids around.

It's like the last 40 years never happened, like I'm right back in high school! And we both feel it. I JUST texted him a link to this song, and it could have been written for us. I love that concept of being near. And it's a beautiful thing to feel that someone is always near, even when they're 1000 miles away. Fairytales DO come true. Don't be afraid to go find YOURS!!! 😊
