What is the most memorable moment in your life? You don't have to be nice like my friends child birthday, it doesn't have to be nice just a memory that has engraved it's self into the sole and will not leave. I will leave a memory I just need time to think of one. I shoulda thought about that before I made this and posted it. I can't delete it now so lets have it.

Wow, there are so many that come to mind. Out of everything I've ever down I think my greatest memory and accomplishment would be having my kids. I truly don't think there's anything more precious to me.

The other thing that comes to mind is the times we spent on the farm with my grandparents. Those were some of the greatest moments in my life.

Great thread Ich :)

the birth of my children

My memory is so awful, I forget things - good things, bad things - so thoroughly that even when I'm told of them again it's as if they never really happened, my mind draws a total blank on them. I have very little recollection of anything older than a couple of years, and from then forward is even pretty sketchy.
But I can remember dreams. I remember single dreams that I had as far back as a young child. They seem more vivid than life to my mind. So I suppose my most deeply ingrained memory would be a dream. The ones I remember are all just as clear.

Definitely the birth of my children.

The smell of my Nana's perfume that permeates her entire home.

What is the most memorable moment in your life? ... a memory that has engraved it's self into the sole and will not leave.
Ummmm wow. Are you really sure you want to know this? :confused: Some may have some pretty horrible memories engraved on the soul.

Several "memorable" moments (positive and negative) came to mind, and even a couple that have changed the direction my life was going. But something that has been engraved into me at my core, and affected the rest of my life and will not leave:

Would have to be my Dad's battle with lung cancer and the morning he died in our home when I was 13.

p.s. Don't feel you should respond with a "sorry to hear that" post. This has been a part of me for 25 years.

Ack. Hope I didn't kill this thread. I did think it was an interesting question.

People probably have a lot of different answers and a lot of them may be quite postive and lovely (like the people who posted about having children).
