A favorite memory of what exactly? With someone, in a place, something said, something done? I guess this is up to me to decide, yet soooo many choices!! Just cause it sounds simple, it does not make it easy, some of the most simple statements are the most difficult ones to understand.
I suppose my favorite memory would be when I was about 4 years old. It is the last and only memory I have of my grandfather before parkinsin took him away to the nursing home and into a state where he couldn't speak anymore, and it also frightened me. He was only at the house for the Thanksgiving dinner, but I remember giving him a hug (he was a VERY big guy!!) and his strong arms holding me. Then he went and sat in his chair and his laugh was so deep and charming it warmed everyone up. I don't remember much of that day but there's so many details I could give. I really wish I was able to remember my grandfather more like the man I barely got to see.
