My first memory was July 25th 1985, and I was three weeks shy of two years old. :D
I know all of this because it was the night before my little sister was born. Because I was so little, it's a memory of only vivid impressions.
I was staying at a friend of my parent's house. There was a heatwave, or maybe just the house was hot because the air was stifling. I had already taken off my shirt and complained about it being too hot. So Barbra (the lady I was staying with) gave me an ice-cube to hold in my hands. I remember the ice being so cold that it was unpleasant, but I held it cupped in my hands anyway as I walked around the livingroom. The carpet was brown, and I looked up at a low table where several candles were lit, just out of my reach.
The next memory I have was the next day. I was sitting in a truck with my father. He was driving and I was fingering the wide strap of a seat belt across my chest, thinking it was uncomfortable. Dad was explaining we were going to meet my little sister, but I don't remember having any particular emotion to that. It was still hot outside and I was being careful not to touch the door of the car because the plastic had gotten heated by the sun.
He eventually parked and I remember walking beside him as we reached the hospital. The doors slid open on their own. The next thing I remember is mom being rolled by and waving to me from a hospital bed and me calling out to her. I don't remember meeting my sister at all. I don't really think quite understood what was going on, or why it was important. lol.
I don't have a very good memory (as anyone who speaks to me regularly on AIM can tell you) but I do have a long memory. :D
