I do think you see a bit of Eternity when you look into a child's eyes. So full of wonder!

I don't expect to lose any of my memories. And if I make to my 90's and memories do start to slip away, it will be okay. I won't remember that I lost them.

Each time I first held one of my precious newborns in my arms.

Many first times of my life and seeing my grandson in the first moments of his life with his daddy. Melt.

I still have vivid snatches of memory of my father (who died when I was 16) He was very tall and thin (he was at least 6'4") I remember holding on to his leg, under his coat walking on winter evenings. All 4 of us would huddle under his coat. That's one memory I will never let go.

I remember being on my dad's shoulders and putting my hands on his jaw to hold on and how stubbly his face felt. I remember how patient my mom always was and how I could tell her anything and she'd listen.

Dad's now 86 and fighting to keep his mind. Mom already has some dementia and it's painful to see this.

I do remember as a girl of around 7 or 8 when my Dad would come home from work on a cold Winters day, he would be wear his blue camels hair coat and a hat, yes it was the 60's and men wore hats.

I can remember the 4 days in November of 1963 even though I was only 8, til this day I can recall most of the events that took place

I also remember the 1st NYC black out in November 65, my Dad was working in lower Manhattan and some how was able to take a car home from the office and made it home after dropping a few co workers off.

Many people tend to live in the past - they completely miss their present life trying to relive the past one. Sad.

A lot of your posts have to do with the past. What's the diff?
