Memory

The smallest thing can make a lasting impression and you never know what that memory will be. My daughter remembers going down the slide with her daddy. She was too afraid to go alone so Brad held her on his lap and they both went down together. He bumped hard at the bottom and lost his hold on her and she flew into the air and landed with a bump on the grass on her behind. It looked like she bounced almost. She said to me later, "mom why don’t you catch me?"

My coworker remembers her older brother and her brother’s friend Charlie were going to go camping one weekend. They took the top off of Charlie’s ‘57, fire engine red T-Bird with a white interior and set the top on the grass. Then he tossed her the keys saying, "Here you go; have fun." She was 16 and forever will remember that as being one of the best memories of her life.
