I don't know what my first memory is. My memory of all my childhood years is pretty amazing, or so I've been told. I have tons of memories from when my parents were still married, which all happened before I was three-years-old.

So I'll just post about some of my most sentimental memories. These are some of the later memories since they happened after my parents divorced. I lived with my grandparents for several years with my mom, and whenever I couldn't go to sleep or I felt bad at night, one of my grandparents would take me outside in their backyard and swing with me in this big wooden swing under a huge, hundreds of years old oak tree. Theyed sing to me, tell me stories, etc. I can remember our cats following us out to the tree, the lightning bugs, and the sound of the katydids and crickets.

I also remember once believing that I witnessed a magic train go down the road that I could view from the swing (the swing was to the left side of the backyard, so I could see the front yard all the way to the road). The magic train was all lit up, and everytime that one of my grandparents would take me to the swing, I looked at the road in hopes of seeing it again. As I grew up, I came to accept that it had to be just some large vehicle with lights on its sides.
