Remembering
xxx
He didn't know why he couldn't remember things easily, it just happened.
He did remember though, the day Winifred left her own herd, to find him.

From those first shy blushes as young calves, they fell in love...
Their growing up had led to their son, a tiny little male, gray and wrinkly when first born, but the calf was his son.
He remembered the time he stood over that small wobbly legged, big kneed calf, his strong trunk helping to ease the youngster to his feet for the first time.
Then the calf began to walk, and then run...
Hathi was never more proud.

He remembered growing up with his friends, watching the two, small felines grow into powerful, large jungle hunters. Watching a short, slow snake-ling stretch into a long sleek python; and a lanky orangutan become a larger version of itself. The same with that bear...but they were his friends...and he loved them as the brothers they were.
And yet that irrevocable bond of young friends had faded away with time...and nothing any of them could do would change it.
Or turn back time, but that was as useless as stopping the seasons or draining the river...
...
Things were never the same, after they all split apart without even acknowledging the fact...he devoted his life to his son and brigade, his mission of keeping the jungle in order coming back full strength.
Louie...well...he just became a bigger version of his childhood self...Baloo not much different.
Shere Khan, was the jungle bully and ruler, though you wouldn't tell him that or he'd be likely to eat you.
Kaa and Bagheera became loners...drifting through their respective places of Seeonenee...everyone else saw very little of them...
Until...
