Which generation am I talking about?

Which generation am I talking about?

I saw this on Facebook, and thought, this could be said of a number of generations, so which one am I talking about?

WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

A generation that walked to school and then walked back.

A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street.

A generation that spent all their free time on the street with their friends.

A generation that played hide and seeks when dark.

A generation that made mud cakes.

A generation that collected sports cards.

A generation that found, collected and washed & Returned empty coke bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each, then bought a Mountain Dew and candy bar with the money.

A generation that made paper toys with their bare hands.

A generation who bought vinyl albums to play on record players.

A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings.

A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days.

A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem.

A generation that had parents who were there.

A generation that laughed under the covers in bed, so parents didn't know we were still awake.

A generation that is passing and unfortunately it will never return!!

I loved Growing up when I did.

Each of us is living or has lived alongside part of the last generations. We are all living alongside several generations which we have watched come to fruition along side our own, and which will be the basis on which future generations will be built. 

Generations learn from each other, combining to be moulded into our past, learning to live along side each other, perhaps helping the up and coming generation to fashion their own generation.
