I don't want to forget

Hey remember the time where you were just sitting at the computer with a blank stare, trying to find some sort of inspiration.

I remember my child hood
I remember not sleeping on Christmas eve because I was just super excited about all the things that were going to happen in the morning
I remember looking at the clock and it being 1 am and thought it was time
I remember being sent back to bed when I was captured at the stairs trying to run down the stairs to start Christmas
I remember thinking that I ruined Christmas because I saw something that I shouldn't have seen
I remember when I actually ruined Christmas
I remember waking up and I was excited as always but went down stairs and was upset to see I didn't get what I wanted
I remember being yelled at by my mother
I remember sitting in the shower Christmas morning crying because I've upset the one person I truly care about
I remember the rest of my family coming over and it was so hard to keep composed around them and my mom wouldn't come join us because she was so angry and didn't want to see me or the rest of my family
I remember the best Christmas ever... the next Christmas
I remember not being set on worldly things and just loved and cherished every single thing that I got
I remember still having every one of those things to this day and I love them with all my heart
I remember the holidays
I remember the thanksgiving where we had both my sets of grandparents over to the house along with my mom and dads brothers and sisters
I remember when my grandma (dads mom) was still at the table grabbing another plate while we were all still in the kitchen talking, watching football and eating pie
I remember hearing a big crash and looking over and seeing my grandma on the floor with a Shattered chair around her
I remember having to run to my room and laugh into my pillow because it was so funny and I didn't want her feelings to be hurt
I remember that didn't matter after words ... she was laughing as hard as we all were
I remember helping her up and her asking for her plate ... she wasn't finished
I remember when we were getting ready for dinner my other grandma reaching down to the bread drawer and farting
I remember I almost peed my pants laughing
I remember Halloween
I remember the year that in snowed about a foot and a half on October 30
I remember my friends and I getting bundled up and having our dads with us
I remember we had to end early that night
I remember we started to have a snowball fight
I remember my friends dad hit my other friend (not his son) in the face with an ice ball
I remember we had to go home because his nose was bleeding and he was crying (I don't blame him)
I remember we only got around the block and I was still freezing
I remember grandma being back at my house when I got back
I remember her having fruit because it was Halloween and she didn't want our teeth to rot out of our heads so she got the obvious solution to the problems ... unripe pares (hard as rocks)
I remember her telling me to eat up
I remember one of my loose teeth coming out on the second bite
I remember I was so scared but so happy
I remember eating soup the rest of the night because I afraid to have another pare and if I ate the candy I might loose all of my teeth
I remember my childhood being filled with adventure and stories and all sorts of fun
I remember my childhood having some pretty sad parts in it but that is not what I'm going to focus on
I remember my childhood
I don't ever want to forget

  1. I like this a lot, and there are so many things that I'm forgetting that I don't want to. And I think that because I'm forgetting...I'm forgetting to be happy. So thank you for this, and reminding me that life is good, and also bad. But I want to remember the good.
