The thing that I wished I had the most was current clothes.
I was a product of my Mom's second marriage (or litter of children), which were considerably spaced apart. When I was 7, my dad took off and moved to Europe. It was only my sister and I in the second litter, and my sister got new things because there were no girls in the first litter. I wound up with hand-me-downs from my brothers that were from the 70's and was wearing them in the 90's. I remember wearing a pair of cordoroys in the early 2000's.
