My Happiest Childhood Memory:I am roughly nine years old. It's mid-August and I'm a wekk or two into school. It's Saturday; both of my parents are at work and my sister hasn't yet returned from spending the night at a friend's house. All night, it has been storming. And I'm not talking one of the normal Florida monsoons. I'm talking torrential downpour combined with an ungodly amount of lightning strikes. One actually took down a tree in the back pasture

Let me preemptively say that this assignment has been quite difficult for me. I know i have many happy childhood memories. My childhood was good. The problem, however, is recalling them without context or reminder. I've thought for the past few days and come up with the happiest memory that has come to me. Although, it is not neccessarily a "childhood" memory, it is a memory of my past. It is a memory of a time that i was not the adult i am today. Therefore, i hope, this will qualify for the assignment

Disney World!

The carpet at Yia Yia's house never felt as clean as my home's. My dad was gone, headed for the hospital with my mother. Yia Yia and Papou were going to watch us for the day. I was worried, worried for my mother, but excited. I sat there on the carpet thinking. Time rolled on and everyone seemed to just get more excited. Then from the front door came knocking, and my Papou rushed to open it. Dad entered quickly with a small piece of paper and sat down at the bar. He called for us, told us that our mother was fine and then showed us the footprints of our baby sister. Rebekah Lynn Snow, born May 14, 1987. He took us in his arms and told us how small she was, how much we would love her. We soon found ourselves at our mother's hospital bed, she seemed so weak. We talked with her and gave her a lamb Dad had picked up for her at the hospital gift shop. A nurse came and had us clean up so that we could hold her. That day I met my baby sister for the first time, I have loved her more than words ever since.
