I grew up in a small town. Where everyone knew everyone. I can remember running free through my neighborhood. I walked to the park with out an adult to go swimming with my friends. I ran the neighborhood on my bike and as long as I was home before dark, all was fine. All my parents ever knew was I was in the neighborhood somewhere or playing at the park. Now that I have a daughter, I can not imagine allowing her this freedom. I hate letting her outside alone. And when I do she is only allowed across the complex parking lot to her friend's house. And even then I am checking out the window to make sure I can still see her every so often. I kind of feel bad that I can not give her the freedom I had. Cause it was great to grow up that way. But I do sometimes remember stuff that happen and wonder how I managed to live to adulthood. Sometimes I think I am being over protective. But I can't help it. It is just how things are now days.
