Robin Hood in childhood

In 1987, My family lived in Alabama for about 9 months, for my father had to take courses over there. I was still 5 years old back then. When we left, we took SO MANY things with us back home, things that we really kept using for years, actually some of these things are still alive at my family's home in Amman.

One of the simplest, yet priceless things we got from there, was a VHS video tape, having the Disney cartoon "Robin Hood".
I still recall how my sisters & I kept watching it over and over again, for years, up until I became 12 years old or something. The number of times we watched it is uncountable! Every single time, I would laugh at the very exact scenes and would be impressed by Robin Hood's moves and smartness. The downs that the animals' town went through would always make me sad, and at it's happy ending, My heart would dance, EVERY SINGLE time!

The other day, Jeeej & I were waiting for the pharmacist to get my ear's drop subscription ready. To entertain the people waiting, they were showing a Disney cartoon, about the girl fighting in a war instead of her father, -Sorry Jeeej, but I forgot it's name :p-. Anyways, I started telling Jeeej about how much I love Robin Hood's movie, I wasn't surprised to know that it was one of his favourites too. I started telling him about my favourite scenes, and he started singing it's songs for me!! I felt sooooo happy having a conversation with hubby about Robin Hood!!

Few days ago, Jeeej added the movie to our list on Netflix. To make it even better, he put it on top of the list! I couldn't wait to watch it again, after all these years.

We got it yesterday...and I was speechless...

The scenes, the laughs, the conversations...everything...I could tell what would happen & what would be said next, it brought sweet memories to my heart, about a childhood filled up with joy and happiness, by Robin hood and many other things, along with my sweet sisters:)

Nourty, Renno & Mimy...I miss you so much!
