‘The government’ invaded your home one day and told you they had an important job to do. They had to erase your memory, however, you were allowed to keep only one.
What would it be?
damn you nap your questions always drive me nuts…….ill post at a latter date. do we at to keep our memories of our children, i cant pick only one to remember, though at times i wish i could forget all of them, just for a moment or two. ok ok sometimes more
Oh wow, I was trying to figure out a memory including both of my kids. Because I could not just choose one of their birth days. Then I read JoAnn’s reply. Can I copy and paste please? 🙂
Wow, this is a very, very difficult question. I really, really want to have a memory of my kids but for some reason the moment I read this, my dad popped into my head – it’s the last time I saw my dad alive:
He was being prepped for his heart surgery and was tired of being poked and prodded by the nurses. He wanted a moment or two with us but they just kept coming in for more vitals and tests and he was getting frustrated. I explained to him that it was necessary (my first husband was a RN) but he didn’t want to hear any of it. Finally, the room was quiet and he began to talk. I was waiting for a loving tender speech from my dad, a typical tender moment that I knew he was capable of, but instead I got a lecture about playing his lotto numbers. A few minutes later, the nurse came in and he had had enough, she turned around and while her back was turned, my dad flipped her the bird. I just laughed, told him I loved him and I’d see him after the surgery.
He told me to play his numbers. It just tickled me.
Just one of my favorite memories that I’d hate to lose. I know, I should want to remember my kids…but, my dad rocked too =)
Stillstanding,
NAP has certainly gotten us thinking about wonderful memories (hmmm…maybe that’s her sneaky ploy…love you NAP!!). SS, your story touched me and made me smile. It’s a great memory. Love, ZGHi ZG,
You’re right! It’s nice to know we have many to pick from and it is hard to choose just one. JoAnn’s is pretty wise. Im still trying to choose mine-I Have 2 kids too and this is a hard question Katt!
Love, NapI occasionally have flashes of insight. Don’t expect it all the time though–too much pressure!
In contrast, NAP is just brilliant all the time!
SS,
I was just kidding, you can add another memory if you like. I’ll let ‘the government’ know and then you’ll have the green light!
Love, NapMay not be the best thought, but I would want to know of the horrific lies and deceit my husband had done, so I would not trust ever again the same way. Another by-product of that wish would be that I would know that my intuition and concerns were not wrong, like he had me believing for years.
Naivety is quite repulsive to me at this time.
I never want to trust again…it is foolishness to me.
I cried in my h’s arms the other day. I said, “I don’t want to love you, because I don’t want to be hurt anymore,” and I was feeling loving feelings toward him at that time.
Sad. Such horrible tragedies happen that are just accidents or natural disasters. But to think all this pain and destruction was totally preventable, is unbelievable, inconceivable. One person’s happiness is another person’s undoing. Cruel.
