The first things that caught my eye in this story were the title, it sounds like a story full of warmth, and the year it was set because that's the year I was born and one always seems curious what else was going on in the world then!
Excellent description with no wasted words or lengthy narrative in paragraph one. Lifestyles seemed so much simpler back then, I wonder how different today's kids would be with those big back yards and little to no TV?
SUGGESTION- PARAGRAPH TWO;
'you and to strive to attain' Delete 'and to'
Interesting comparison between school and Grandma's teachings.
'What was wrong' [ typo; forgot 'was' in sentence.
That was one cold nurse, she must have realized she was speaking to a young child!
A tight, emotional ending to a wondeful story of memories. Sad and happy, they all shaped you and I am glad you treasured that time enough to share it.
Except for the two small typos mentioned above, I truly cannot see anyway to tighten or improve this story. It stands as it is. An excellent and memorable piece.
