Some times we think about our past.Trying to go back in time and recollect the early
years of our life .Which memory comes to you first?Of course there wont be any continuity.Memories of incidents,persons or emotions come and go.Which is your oldest memory?For me, there is a memory of walking holding my grandpa's hand.But it is vague.Then,my mother brushing my short hair.But my most vivid memory is standing and watching the dragon flies and butterflies flitting from flower to flower.How about you?

When I try to think about my memories of being a child I couldn't think of anything that I could be proud of. Flashes of bad memories are just the ones showing. Maybe I'm just tired that's why I couldn't really remember anything good

Who said anything about having only good memories? It could be you were crying because you fell down,or some body may have scolded you.May be you remember a recurring nightmare.If it is okay with you ,you can share it.If not it is okay.Thanks for responding.

Hi there. I can still recall some of my childhood when my father and I was riding a cow when I was just 1 year old. My mother was cuddling me during my 3rd birthday. Also my grandfather and I ride the horse when I was just 4 years old. And also I can recall when my grandmother puts me to sleep every night. And I also can remember when i played and fight with my brothers and sisters long time ago. I don't know why I can still remember those remote memories. Maybe it's because of the pictures I can see. Makes those memories fresh in my mind. But I think the oldest memory I have though I'm not sure if it really happened is my great grandmother cuddled me and I was crying so hard because I was afraid of her. I don't know why I can think of this. I was just months old that time. May the mother of my grandmother, my great grandmother rest in peace. I love her :)

See,it is really great to have all these frames from our childhood captured in our minds.Not many of us remember things from the time we were 1 year.It is good to have the memory.Thank you for your enthusiastic response.

I think the time when my sister and I were waiting outside our house for our father to pick us up and bring us to the beach. I can still remember our excitement and the feeling of bonding with our father. I believe that was the last since we have to live far from where he is because of his work.
