What would we do without our memories? Remember sprawling lazily in the meadow gazing up at the sky and imagining what magical creatures you could create from the clouds? Or searching for the perfect blade of grass to belt out the loudest, winning duck call? Remember the quarter your grandfather slipped secretly into the palm of your hand that would buy you a fortune at the corner store? Or having your friends spin you furiously on the merry-go-round, holding on for dear life, while frantically resisting the urge to throw-up? Remember lifting the top of your desk so you could snicker mercilessly with your very best friend, only to have your knuckles rapped by the ruler? Or burying caterpillars in tiny tombs, only to unbury them later to see if they survived? Remember slipping that despised piece of liver to the dog or cunningly wiping your mouth with the napkin? Or running home at full steam, bladder overflowing, only missing salvation by seconds? Remember your first kiss, and how you had butterflies fluttering inside you for days? Or your first french kiss, and how you thought there was nothing more repulsive? Remember dousing your body in a mixture of baby oil and iodine while sunning to Top 40 tunes? Or your first fearless stab at skinny-dipping, only to be high-beamed by those you called friends? Remember the exhilaration of freedom you felt as you cut the apron strings to venture out on your own? Or that overwhelming cloud of anxiety that encompassed you when you realized that you were actually there? Remember your first love, and how no one could tell you it was wrong? Or your first real break-up, and how, for once, you wish you had listened? Remember the first time you looked into your lover's eyes, and how you knew that they were the one? Or the tears that were shed after your very first fight? Remember that glorious day when love prevailed and you were asked to share your life with another? Or the walk that you took, with God as your witness, down the aisle to the one that you loved? Remember the excitement you felt as you realized that your family of two, would soon become three? Or that transcendant day your first child was born, and no matter how painful it had been you would do it all over again? Remember when...
