tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

I was probably one or two years old.  I remember sitting on my grandfather’s lap, in wood and wicker rocking chair.  I remember it being in the corner of the room.  He was rocking it and I don’t remember quite how it happened, but the chair fell over backwards.  I think he was making the chair rock more because I thought it was fun.  I remember my mother coming into the room to help us both up.

My grandfather died when I was 3, but I remember of him was love, and awesome.  Maybe it was just because of how young I was, and those are the types of things that leave an impression at such a young age.  Maybe it was what he was made of. 

He may have died when I was too young to have many memories, but I always miss him terribly to this day when I think him, and this memory. <3
