1 good memory? hmm, honestly, I don't remember any...now a bad memory- when my parents divorced when I was 7 years old, I can remember being in the courtroom and my parents arguing over where I was to sit, w/ my dad or w/ my mom...I can remember many bad things, no good things, we never had those family trips, when your parents take ya to fun places, we didn't do that much  |

A good memory is ever single day: I am blessed to have such wonderful parents. I guess the best memory is Mother's Day 2003, when it was three of my four brothers, their families, my parents and me. Everything was such fun and it was all so wonderful...in our family we feel deeply but have strange ways of showing it, example Stile and I kept teasing and I squeezed him so hard round his tummy he almost threw up...hee hee hee...but the only bad memory I have is when I was 6, and my mom spanked me three times because I had lied and disobeyed her. I am blessed to have such amazing parents  |

Well that bad memory is my parents got a divorce and my mom change a lot, my dad tryed killing himself but didn't. Now my mom is getting remarried and my dad is going back to college, he got his degree and he is going to go to law school, he took his LSATS and got a 178 out of 180, he can go to harvard but some schools are offering him a free ride, that is good news, so in the end things are working out somewhat. A good memory is when we went to Washington DC and my parents where still together, that was a lot of fun. Even though my parents are apart my life is great, I have a wonderful bf who is going to ask me to marry him and I'm going to see my dad this weekend, I think I'm the happiest girl on earth.  |

I was blessed with two of the greatest parents so everyday has a good memory to it!! I love them so much, most of my friends always say that they can't stand their parents or they don't get along so i'm the odd one in the bunch, my parents and I always get along. I only have one real bad memory and that was when I was like 6 and my sister was 4, I was in K-mart, me and my sister had to use the bathroom and so did my dad so when me and my sister came back we were waiting on my dad by the bathrooms. We waited for like 30 minutes! I was soooo upset that he hadn't come out yet and I thought, maybe he forgot about us!! I walked a little ways into an isle and saw him there. I was so mad at him then LoL. Intresting post SpaceCase! -BreathingBody  |

I guess a bad memory would be the morning I was woke up by Mom telling me that they had life-flighted Daddy to the hospital with a ruptured anyerism (sp) in his brain. Not knowing if he would make it through surgery, and when he came home sleeping on the living room floor just in case he needed me. Let's see, only one good memory huh? I guess it would have to be those lazy Saturday morning talks over coffee. Talking about everything and nothing. Just the feeling of knowing that I am loved by them. I have many wonderful memories of my parents and I make a new one everyday. Be Good...  |

my worst memory is when my dad took my flute and chunked it down the stairs, then he proceeded to (with one sweep) take his belt across my table of figurines and break them all...and then he smacked my face so hard that I went to school (7th grade) with a handprint still there. All for a 67 in History on a 3 weeks progress report....funny that my best memories all stem from dad as well...all the camping trips. But the one that stands out the most, is when he took me to do Karaoke for the first time (I was 15 or 16). I was so nervous, but I chose Patsy Cline's Walkin' After Midnight...after the song was over, people started throwing money on the stage (loose change and a few George Washingtons) I don't think that is common though because I haven't seen it happen since   |

Well a bad memory I have lots of those...the worst though is when I was older my sister and I got into a huge argument and she told me my parents never wanted me and that my mom thought about aborting me so I asked my mom and she said it was true(why she did not deny it I dont know) and that she only thought about it because she was not sure she could afford another kid...I was the fifth and last child and then she preceeded to tell me that my father (who is dead adn has been since I was 4) was the one who wanted her to haev an abortion. She was always talking bad about my mom. I have other meories which are bad but that one is probably the worst. The best I guess would be when I was younger and we moved to Florida from New Mexico my mother gave us an incredible Christmas...house all decorated nice lots of presents and we were with my grandmother for the first time in a long time.  |

My best memory...thats hard to say most of my memories have been great! But I have had a lot of bad memories. My dad is a good guy but he has a pretty bad temper. One time when I was really little, like 4 or 5 I wanted a banana so he peeled it and gave it to me. But when I was little I wouldn't eat a banana with the peel completely off, I liked to peel it as I went. I said I didn't want it and he yelled at me and sent me to my room. I know I wasted food but god it was a banana. He didn't have to yell at me like that. I think I am sometimes resentful towards my dad because a lot of the memories I have of just him when I was little are not very good. He seems to be a better person now then when I was little. |

A good memory would be the last vacation my family went on, we were all together then and I look back on that as a source of strength. A bad memory would be right after our wonderful vacation 9 years ago my mother passed away to cancer, my brother was 5 and I was 10. But I have learned to take all the love and memories I have to keep going <3  |

I have had nothing but Good memories from my mother (Gail on here), every day has been a blessing for me. She is my rock to lean on and she is always there for a chat over a cup of tea. We have a very good relationship, so close that I consider her my best friend as well......... The only Bad memories I have are all stemmed from My father. He has always been the type that would drift into my life and when I just get used to him being around, he drifts right back out. Before Mom and Dad divorced, I remember one thing that really stands out.. I was either 3 or 4 at the time, and it was Christmas morning. Dad had gotten one of those big red tool boxes and was putting it together, then he had to leave to pick up mom from My grandmother's house. When he got back there was a drawer in it missing, and he gave us (my brother, sister, and I) 30 minutes to find it. Needless to say we didnt find it, so he jerked me up and took me to the master bedroom, locked the door, took off his belt and proceeded to hit me over the back and rear with it. I remember hearing mom screaming through the door, and finally with my brother's help broke through the door. That same night we packed up and left, and mom was tired of dealing with his crap too, and she filed for divorce that Monday. Believe it or not, that was a good memory for me, because my dad didnt do right by any of us. Still to this day, he will leave a christmas or birthday card in the mail box, but not have the curtesy to come knock on the door.  *hugs*  |

Oh and the drawer to the tool box, mom had kicked the tool box when she couldnt get in the door, and the drawer popped out of the top of it. So, really I got a whooping for his doing.. *hugs* |

All my good memories come from my dad or brothers, there are a lot of those. Every bad memory is from my mom or a boyfriend of hers. One bad memory would be from her boyfriend who she had move in after she separated from my dad. There was a stray cat that would come into our backyard all the time and my brother who was about six at the time would always feed it. My mom's boyfriend couldn't stand cats so he said if he saw it in our backyard again he would kill it. We came home from school one day and he said he had something he wanted us to see and took us into the backyard and the stray cat had had kittens behind our shed. He had us line up and told us to watch. He pulled the mother cat out from behind the shed and drowned her in our pool. Then took the kittens out one by one and cut their heads off with a shovel. When he was done he told us we had fifteen minutes to clean up the mess and bury them all or we'd be next.  |

Mother: A bad memory- telling me not to laugh a certain way because I sounded like my father when I did. A good memory- I was very young but I remember getting out of bed and her saying "Good morning Mary Sunshine." She said she called me that because I was always smiling in the morning.
My father: telling my in-laws that I would probably grow up to be a wrestler but my sister would be a model. A good memory- He's always come to my rescue in everything.  |

A bad memory: I guess when my mom drinks, which is often. She was drunk one evening and my brother told her she smelt like burnt pizza and she flipped out and started crying. She cried for the rest of the night. I thought it was funny and wasn't going to pity her, but my dad flipped out. He pushed me around and it made me mad. It happened recently, but it shook me up, just because I had never seen my dad that way. A good memory? Uhh, probably when I'm away from the house... |

OK - BAD: mother died when I was born, then about three years later wonderful grandmother who cared for me died. Never knew my mother but always felt guilty about not feeling sad - but will meet her someday. GOOD: wonderful birth mother, grandmother, then precious Aunt who took care of me. Very strong Dad who worked in coal mines and visted EVERY DAY after work. He married and I got a wonderful stepmom when I was 7 years old. Family interactions were always up and down - but it made me strong! Loved them all - they just didn't love each other. That's life! Live it! RAT |
