And it really struck me as the years went by, in a very negative way, when I would go to some stream that I'd loved, and was used to walking through this field that was once filled with fireflies, and now had a strip mall or a bunch of condos on it.
Y realmente me impactó con el paso de los años, de una manera muy negativa, ir a un arroyo que había querido mucho, y acostumbrado a caminar por ese campo antes lleno de luciérnagas, y había ahora un centro comercial o un grupo de condominios.
