Childhood: Hand and Grocery Store

Childhood Memory
Everyone has their own story about childhood. And so have I. Childhood memories are always the best story to share with people. The stories would full of cares and anxieties from parents, grandparents and other relatives. As we recall, some memories are blurry, but some are really clear that you would never forget. Every time when it was a rainy day, my grandpa would be one hand holding my little hand, and the other hand holding a purple umbrella in case we both got wet. He liked to take me to a grocery store which was a block away in the corner from where we lived. “Let’s get some candies, shall we?” my grandpa would say this to me when it was raining outside. ”Why not?” I would reply in a happy mood every single time. And we would go to the grocery store together and got some delicious snacks. I felt really satisfied whenever grandpa took me to that store in the corner. I loved how grandpa and I would talk about everything when we were holding hands walking down to the grocery store. I loved how we were really closed to each other. I would sometimes think about those old days that having candies with my lovely grandpa. But now, I could never go to the same grocery store and got the same kind of snacks as the old days. The saddest thing that I could ever imagine was my grandpa isn’t here with me anymore. I missed the smile on my grandpa. I missed the snacks we shared together. And I missed the rainy day.
Childhood plays an important part in everyone’s life. My days of childhood were really spent in happiness. I love spending time with my family, especially my grandpa. The only sad thing that happened was my grandpa’s death. As I grow up, I realized how life it is to have death happens. I learned to be happy and carry

    That was the day that my grandpa passed away. Every single part of that date is engrained in my memory. My parents had driven up to Wisconsin, and my older sister Lauren drove home for college to stay with me. It wasn’t out of the normal for my parents to quickly leave, so I didn’t think much of it. I remember going to hang out with Tatum, my best friend of the time. It was a nice day outside, so of course we were outside playing on the trampoline and doing all our weird routines like we always did. Her family, who was like a second family to me, decided to go out to eat so they brought me along. We went to La Charitas. I remember how Mrs. Teeple pulled out a funny card game for us to play, and I remember Tatum cutting out faces in her tortilla, making us all laugh. When we got back to the house we saw that my sister called, so I said bye to the Teeples and walked one minute down the road to my house. Lauren, who is one of the most emotional in the family, was left with the task of telling me that my grandpa had passed away. I had just grabbed a snack of chocolate cheerios as she started to tell me the news. I didn’t know how to react, so I ran into the basement directly to the furthest corner I could find. Lauren tried talking to me, but I wanted to be by myself. One of the hardest things I have ever done was talking to my dad on the phone after finding out. He called to tell me the plans, that he was coming home to get us, and…

    As he stands up from the rocking chair to go check on the pork chops he says, “I remember when the first man stepped on the moon, but Grandma told me it wasn’t true.” When I asked about my grandpa his smile became serious. “Your grandpa passed away when I was 12.” He asked me “can you imagine someone very important from your life being gone?” He pulls out a piece a paper and tells me “I never got to ask him these questions.” As I think to myself I could never imagine losing my dad at 12 or at 14.…

    Even to this day, I don't know how my grandma had so much love for someone who she could barely remember. Yet, since my grandma's condition was bad I naturally helped out my family with my great grandma. I would bring in and out sodas for her since she had a mad addiction to the fizzy drink, and sometimes I would bring her hot meals. Even though doing all of that was great, my favorite thing to do for her was to keep her company. On the most beautiful of days, we would go out and sit on the neon yellow swing set in front of our house in early afternoons when the leaves were turning a beautiful shade of brown and the weather was just the right temperature. The wind sang alluring songs in your ears as the branches of the lush trees danced to the melody. I can picture it just like it was yesterday. The pond next to us glimmered a light blue color as the swing squeaked in glee. She would sing the same tune each time and i would drift into a world of peace and tranquility where nothing else mattered at that moment. But as a little girl, I took those special moments for granted. I was too oblivious to know that good things don't last forever, they never…

    A Funnel to Our Past

    Most of my early childhood is but a fog, filled with little snippets of memories: a family party which I rode around in a little red pedal car in a black dress and red shirt, or the Christmas I got SnoozeNSnore Ernie, the tea parties I would throw for my dolls and stuffed animals or even the first time I met my step mom. As I continue down the metaphoric road of my memory, I see myself enjoying elementary school to the best of my ability, happily being a junior bridesmaid in my cousin’s wedding, absolutely loathing middle school, and now loving high school and ready for new memories to be made. I have so many memories I would love to relive-prom, traveling to Europe, meeting my niece and nephew for the first time-and of course, those I…

    Not everyone has a grandfather as special as mine; my grandpa name is Orange Burchette which was always weird to me growing up. Now that I’m older I realize he even looked orange. The most interesting thing about my grandpa was his conversations. Out of all his grandchildren I'm the only one he took on his walks and told Indian stories too. My family members are baffled as to what he talked about for such long periods of time. I’m still trying to figure out what was so special about me but I’m grateful he choose me. One of the things I regret since his death is He never got the chance to teach me how to play the guitar. His stories play a major part in my life today because they're based on wisdom on life.…

    As I was the youngest baby in the family, everybody spoiled me the most. I wasn’t the type to get in trouble at all as a child. It’s considered that childhood memories are special for everybody because they are fun and personal. I can’t imagine my childhood without remembering the times I’ve spent at our family gatherings. This was the most precious time that I’ve spent in my life. Our gatherings are situated around in different cities. The gathering in Virginia had the most beautiful sea. My family always desire what they create from time to time. I still remember us; my mom, my auntie, my brother, my sister, and others going their every other summer. We spent one whole week there all the time and enjoyed it. I would always get excited when I heard about going to Disney World.…

    It’s considered that childhood memory is special for everybody because it’s very personal. I can’t imagine my childhood without reminding the time that I’ve spent at our summer cottage. I can even say that it’s the most precious time in my life. It’s situated in half an hour from city by the most beautiful sea that I’ve ever seen in my life. Unfortunately we sold it 6 years ago, and maybe that is why I appreciate it so much, people always desires what they’ve lost and aren’t able to get back for going through it again.…
