I Came Back To The Same Flowing River

Nature prompt: Second week of February

When I was young, maybe around 5 or 6. We lived right next to a river that we loved to play in. We would find deep pool pockets and swim in them. Of course, my older sister and brother would swim in the deeper pockets while I stayed in the shallow parts.

We would pick crawdads, and I would bring them home as pets. I loved that river and remembered it throughout my life here and there. As I grew older, I forgot just where that river was. At 5–6, I was not thinking about the road we lived on. All I cared about was the fun I was having at the time. I had no worries or concerns at that time. When I got a little older, we moved out of the country and lived in the city for the rest of my childhood and most of my early adulthood.

Now in my 40s, I had moved back to the country. I had moved miles away from where I grew up as a child. It took me some time and talking to my parents and family to find out where this place was before they passed away. I knew the area however I myself, remembered what street it was on through remembering. Funny how even some early childhood memories we can remember while many of them fade.

I was driving down the road with my husband and saw a sign for a river that was coming up across the road. The name meant something and the first time we drove past it stuck in my head but, I just could not think of where I saw that name. The second time we drove by I remembered. That was the same river I use to play in as a child.

I was very confused because I know that river was where I use to live as a child. How could it be how many miles away from the new city I lived in? So I searched on the map to find the river and sure enough, it ran a better part of the state from top to almost the bottom. I never knew the river had been so long.

Was nice to think of the times we were a family since we were not a family anymore. Made me happy to remember playing with my older siblings in the flowing river by our house. Today I have not spoken to either one of them in many years. We will always have that flowing river.
