On the way home today from visiting my family over the Memorial Day Holiday I noticed a “for sale” sign in the parking lot of the private school I attended for the 1st eight years of my educated life (k-8).  A bit struck by this I called my family to find out if indeed the school had closed or if I was misunderstanding something.
Sure enough, the school had closed.
Now some kids would rejoice if their school closed; however for some reason this really struck me as a stark reminder that nothing is Permanent.  I had always envisioned that place as one of those forever icons that would live on throughout several generations; I apparently was mistaken.  In a town where very little changes it seems that this particular piece of nostalgia will go down like most and fade into the history of my life.
