What is the happiest core memory from your childhood?

r/

I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching, healing, therapy and reflection over the past few years. Working through relational trauma, both through current relationships and childhood. Digging through the earliest memories and what the happiest moment of being a child were like for me makes me wonder what early life was like for others. So here’s my question to you, fellow Redditor. What’s your earliest and happiest core memory that you remember?

    I miss the time na pinipilit kang matulog sa tanghali, so I used to put my booger sa mata ko para magmukhang muta.
    Noon, kailangan niyong pumunta sa bahay ng kalaro niyo para malaman kung pwede siyang umalis ng bahay, tas dun mo lang malalaman na lumabas sila, or hindi sila pwede, ngaun kasi PM-PM nalang.
    Namiss ko din yong napagkamalan namin yong anak ng daga eh ang alam namin anak ng baboy, nakakatawa lang.

    I was in the third grade and there was a knock on our classroom door that morning.

    Our teacher went to answer the door and when she opened it, there stood my grandfather in that big silver Stetson cowboy hat he wore all the time to pick me up. Went outside and behind his pick up truck was a red bass boat. We drove about an hour from where we were to the Tennessee River and met up with a family friend and his son that was about my age and went fishing. Caught no telling how many catfish and Crappie while we were there.

    On the way there, he sang me to sleep with the song “you are my sunshine”.

    If I live to be 135, I’ll never forget that.

    He died in 1986.

     Spending hours outside with my friends, just laughing and making up games, those simple, carefree moments really shaped who I am today!
