I dont know if you've read any, but I have recently started a new six sentence series called "Memories Of..." Because I am a naturally curious person, and because I am looking for inspiration for future "Memories Of..." I thought that I might pose you the following questions.
If your children or grandchildren were to ask you what your best memory was, how would you reply?
And, what is your most cherished and loved moment that you will never forget?
One of my best memories would be galloping my horse. The sourroundings slightly blur and all you can hear is the wind in your ears and the panting of the horses around you and the thunder of their feet. Your heart rate slightly increases but you feel so relaxed and like it is you are in your own world. The memory only gets better and better until you experience it again. You start to see the slimplicity of life and the small moments of happiness that you can treasure as memories.
Thats it for the moment, and i can't think (remember) a cherished and loved moment because i still may have to experience it yet!
I think that would have to be christmas eve, that feeling of utter excitement, to the point where you kinda feel a bit sick. It's such a good feeling...where you cant get to sleep but you want to so you wake up sooner. This was when i was a kid, now im not so fussed about it.
Mine would be visiting my Grandma for the weekend. Picking blackberries for her homemade pies, and coming inside to help make them. While in her tiny kitchen she would put the music on and teach me the two-step, and we would dance around and around. The smell of the pies cooking was so delicious so she would give me a little scoop of ice cream with warm blackberries from the pie filling to hold me over.
I have a huge family which meant she had probably a hundred grandchildren and great grandchildren but she could make me feel like I was her only one. I had many more great memories with her but this was my favorite.
Lillygirl - I have many...but one that comes to mind is my pregnancy with my son. After many failed attempts, I found myself pregnant again and having an ultrasound when Dr. Eckmann said "Do you see that?" as he pointed to the screen. I apprehensively responded "Yes....what is it?" He answered "That is a heart and it is beating!"
I think one of my best memories is taking long, slow drives to some little town I've never seen before and taking a whole bunch of pictures while the kids walk around and find a restaurant that promises to have the best burgers and fries.
