I was lying in bed last night just remembering things from my past.....and it suddenly occurred to me that if, for some reason, all my memories disappeared I would really miss them.....
So I ask you guys, if your memory was going to go but you could choose to save just one memory....which memory would it be?
Its a hard choice for me, but it would probably be my Grandparents Golden Wedding Anniversary Party because all my family were there and we all had a wonderful time....
Mine would have to be seeing my first child for the first time, nothing can beat the feeling you get when u see and hold your baby for the first time, saying that i felt the same with all of them but i can only choose one memory lol
Mind you if i'd know then she was going 2 turn into this 5 and half foot PMT monster i'd have sent her back lol

What a great question Helen... for me it would be the memory of the day GT and I were married... for him, unquestionably it would be the memory of the birth of his daughter... I haven't asked him but there is no contest to that memory! smile
Again... great question!

Thanks biggrin
If I had children then I would probably say the same that it would be the birth of my child....but I don't, so I can't say that.....
New Years Day 1994

Our wedding day :inlove:
The first time Steve told me he loved me as we made love for the first time :inlove: :inlove:
Oh god theres many many more I couldnt choose :confused2:
can i be really really selfish.........since i haven't been married or had any kids smile :) :)
it would be the day i got my a level results... and found out that i would go onto university
i have been told by all my teachers for 2 years that i was mad for even thinking about it and that i was not "university material"
i was never the most academic person, but it just felt like a vindication of myself and the potential i had that none of my teachers had in me.. little faith.....
sean........
p.s if i could have had 2 then 26th may 1989 when arsenal won the league at anfield would have come close... took the day off school and went up there, 10000 of us in the corner of the ground, still brings shivers.....

When the doctor wrote on my medical notes " no longer obese. " after 6 months on the ****** diet. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: and that after being classed as obese for 12 years. Oh what joy to read those words.
Awwww I'm getting all teary-eyed at all these lovely responses....
I have another one......The day I lost my virginity.....weird but very special to me.
Oh Oh Oh and the day I graduated from Uni, knowing that I had achieved something worthwhile......
Excellent question. Have been wracking my brains and it seems to keep coming back to the same time.
Talking to my Nan, when i was a kid, listening to her as she spoke about living through the Blitz in east London and getting blown up, about how she met my grandad and marrying him while he was on leave from the Navy. So many many stories from just sitting around her kitchen table....some of them really funny, and some horrendously awful. But would never want to lose them.
Ta Helen!
the memory of my youth
Great question.
I've been thinking about it for a while, and I think probably the whole night of my 21st birthday - I had a party at home, and absolutely everyone I knew was there. Old friends from school who I hadn't seen for months, new friends from uni, friends I'd met travelling in my gap year and not seen since, family friends who've known me since I was born, family who live in South Africa and I hadn't seen for years, my boyfriend, my parents and brother and sister. It was so wonderful having everyone I loved in one room, and watching all the unlikely groups that formed and how well everyone got on with each other, when I'd been a bit nervous that lots of people wouldn't know anyone else.
oooh must be a good question DreamerH.... you have had a rare reply from the elusive makingcocoa !!!!!
good to see you posting makingcocoa...

Feel for you - I have the same memories xxx
Sorry Helen but i would have to keep two memories......as i have two son's and i cannot choose over either of their births.
Excellent topic, Helen.
I may have to come back to you again on this as I've only been thinking about it for about 5 minutes.
In that time the memory that I relish most is the moment I decided to stop drinking. That was more than 17 years ago.
(Due to blackouts, I don't have too many memories before then. Not true.......just being flippant again).

Watching my father during his last week of life, the dignity and bravery of the man, and watching his last breath leave him was a privilege for me. The memory is as vivid and clear now as the day in April 1998 and I treasure it. He had asked me to stay with him until the end and I did, it was the least I could do for my beloved father who had nutured me through childhood and supported me in my adult life.
Mind you I'm also glad that I don't have to do it again.
smile
I've tried and tried on this one and I cannot pin it down to just one memory - I am currently at 16. If I get it down to 10 - I'll let you know.
My memory is on the sort of the same line as MR TIgs.
instead of losing my memories i'd prefer them to be tranfered to someone....
i'd like to keep all the memories of my mother before the terrible thing that is called drink took hold of her and changed the life of 6 people for ever..
but give the remaining memories to my mother for the 15 years she missed out throught constant drinking..

Mine has to be the Mid Wife slapping my wife when our son was born. God he was ugly, about 2 weeks late, forceps bumps on his head and really dry skin.
Mind you, a week later he was beautiful and is now a handsome young lad
Mine would have to be from a warm summer day 2 years ago. Had just started going out with my ex and we were both lying on my bed, her in my arms asleep with not a sound outside except for the faint noise of traffic. The sun was out and it was a clear blue sky, warm but not hot. All I can remember is a feeling of complete contentment.
That is what I would save.
One's I'd prefer to forget on the other hand, run into the 100s redface

An extremely emotional memory, both happy and sad, which eclipses many others in my life, would have to be a telephone call I received from a Captain in the Royal Marines in 1982.
Jon and I had been married for only 10 months and I was seven months pregnant with twins
Jon was serving with the Marines in the Falkland conflict and I was staying with my parents while he was away.
One particlar night there was a report on the BBC news of heavy casualities in Jon's unit
After trying for over eight hours to get through to the number given for casualty enquiries, I left my details with a very understanding young woman on the helpline.
She promised I would receive a call soon to let me know if Jon was amongst the injured or dead.
Four days later and no sleep in between, eaten nothing, but spent the whole time crying with my mother, I received a phone call from a Captain who informed me that Jon had been located amidst the melee and was safe and well.
My relief was absolute and I was so exhausted I could hardly speak. It was a most profound moment where my life and that of our unborn babies seemed to hang in the balance.
It's extremely upsetting to even think about it after 23 years, but it is one memory I would not want to lose all the same.

Very special days of giving birth to my two boys and seeing their faces for the first time.
The day mum and dad moved into their flat - when they had got back together after being separated for 13 years. I'd worked hard to get them back communicating again and now they share a life together which is sooo much better than they'd had before. Was so happy that night biggrin
I think Friday night just gone was a memory I would save too - it's seems mighty important now and it will affect the rest of my life one way or the other. Too early to tell but I'll remember HOW it made me feel forever :love:
Lovely thread, really lovely
