Birth.
What first hand experience have you had or witnessed in your life that has been etched in your mind and soul for ever?
I was about 4 years old and remember being pummeled by the ocean down at the Jersey shore. I can still feel my dads hands around me as he pulled me out and hugged me with all his might. THAT is etched in my mind and it's something that I can recall vividly.
Since everyone is picking a young childhood memory I will say this one.... I was probably 4 and my parents took us to a luau and there was a pig there. I thought he was cute and made friends with it. Next thing I know is there is a pig in a pit being roasted! Still had its eyeballs and everything! I was so heartbroken cuz I thought that was the same pig I just made friends with. I can still remember the smell and get nauseated. My dad asked me if I would try this pork and I refused. I havent touched pork since. I get nauseated just thinking about it!
Giving birth. That was the most amazing experience, I can not explain that moment when that baby clears your body. It's exquisite joy and loss at the same time.
Death. I will be forever changed.
My father worked for nasa here in houston and everytime they shot off a apollo rocket their was a party and when it came back they spashdown parties and perades down nasa rd one in the suburbs of houston
I remember being in Bass Lake at age 5 when my flotation device slipped off. I kept my eyes open as I went down to the bottom several times and thought I was going to die. My brother was fishing from a boat and spotted me, and I remember him swimming me back to shore with his arm under my chin.
When I was 17 I was at my father's side and watched him take his last breath.
When I was 11, my dead mother told my younger sister, she wished someone would take me and she didn't want me. I was officially on my own, I did whatever I wanted to do, she mentally, physically, emotionally and psychologically abandon and neglected me😢.
