    LOL...it's not rainbows and butterflies for me, but here's mine:

    For my 12th birthday, my mom asked me what I wanted for my gift. I asked for her to get a divorce from my father. It took a few months, but wish granted. It sounds sad and pathetic, but it truly is the greatest childhood memory I have. My mom and I laughed for years about that! She knew it was going to happen for her eventually, but when your 12 year old asks for it because she knows it's that bad, well, I guess I lit a fire under her *kitten*!

    We celebrated that victory until the day she died!

    I don't think I can pick just one... probably when I was 7-9 we lived on a lake (which had an island in the middle! it was pretty sweet) all of the neighborhood kids (ages ranging from 4-16) would play out in the woods literally all day long. We made forts and even dug underground tunnels(;

    Going to the river with my parents were always the best memories.

    One of the best though was when I was roughly 7ish and my dad and his friends (few of them lived with us, rest were visiting that day) but for some unknown odd reason broke out into a full blown water gun fight. From the outside of the house all throughout the inside-adults and kids were running around shooting each other. Can remember my dad hiding under the table, and people sliding through the kitchen because the floor was so wet. It was so much fun (as a kid we sure weren't allowed to do that!!) Afterwards the house was soaked but no one seemed to care because everyone had so much fun.

    Simple things like smelling the lilacs, swinging from the willow tree, picking cherries.

    My Dad worked night shift, I remember the mouse :)
    when I was about 5 yrs old I discovered a pair of tiny shoes and a rain coat
    on the sofa table where my Dad always sat, He told me they belonged to Mr Mouse
    and i had just missed him.... We had many stories and adventures over the years
    and I always just missed Mr Mouse, I lost my father one year ago last month and for the
    first time in at least 30 years I saw Mr Mouse (or at least his shoes and rain coat ) tucked in his Bible
    where I know he saw them and thought of me everyday :(
    They now rest in a little gold shadow box that i wear on a chain everyday.
