Reflecting on Memories Past
Hi bloggers, Am in a reflective mood again as my mate Chris Mac told me about his new blog he was thinking up and he said he would fill it with childhood memories amongst other things.
This set me off thinking about some of my own childhood memories and as you know that my mum is no longer around but in spirit, and me and my sisters have grown up slightly, we all tend to think about our childhood memories don't we and Chris the darling reminded me of all of mine.
I have quite a lot of brilliant memories that me and my family were involved in and it's good remembering them. Some people have told me to forget things that have happened in the past, but my counsellor said that by doing that I would lose bits of me that are important as my past was very precious to me, and mum is living in the past somewhere.
I will share some of those memories with you, if I may, and it will help to eleviate my feelings.

Every Sunday, we had a cold tea, and loved sitting down in our warm kitchen watching Antiques Roadshow together, Dad had his tea as always in his Tv room and Mum and my sisters and I would watch TV in the kitchen.
Every Christmas, we all did our family tradition of getting up early around 8, and going to Mum and Dad's big bed and opening up all our presents together and the cats would come and sit with us on the bed.We would then get dressed and showered and then play with our presents while Mum did Xmas dinner and my aunt Sue would come around for dinner with all of us. We still do the tradition now but just us four do it, It feels strange with Mum sometimes but I never forget how good it was with all of us.
Most of all my memories are either going on holidays or at home, or something that happened somewhere. I have a lot so it's hard to write most down, but these are just two that were special times to me and my family.
I suppose you have childhood memories don't you? They are the things we never forget and you shouldn't have to forget your past just because you are told to by someone, as your past is part of what makes you as a person.
I have had trouble in the past and now telling about how I feel and sometimes I can be misunderstood by people which can lead to them getting cross or by them shouting and all it is is that I am trying to sort out something in my mind from the past that has made me upset or just thinking about things.
Chris has helped me in a way to just be a great person and I thank him for believing in me like he does.

Dear Katie,
I feel privileged that you regard me with such a high degree of praise. Tell you what? I feel bad for at times replying to you like you are a child. I'm being very honest now. You are not a child and I feel I have let you down. I feel protective toward you,but you don't need protecting as you are coping quite well. I am so sorry if I have ever offended you in the past. Write what you like Katie, and there is nothing wrong in reminiscing about your earlier days. It does help to discover how you arrived where you are today. Chris. x.

Hi Katie,
ah, the memories of childhood years gone by. Mine are a bit fuzzy to be honest. I'm suspicious of the fact that I felt so ashamed of my past, I won't go into why even though i did nothing bad at all, that I was determined to forget it and move onto the future. Especially after leaving school. Now, that's all made my childhood memories so hazy. However, there are people I still remember from them with fondness. Most of what memories I can recall are memories of school friends. I can remember the odd memory of family times but, life with my family hasn't been all that great and, I've never been truely included, or so i felt.
However, I still have some memories, especially of things we used to get that, you can't get anymore. Like Milka chocolate bars, lol.
