The best childhood memory
My
best memory would be the summer my dad got third degree burns on his
arms and second degree on his face when I was ten years old. (He had a
gallon of evaporated gas blow up infront of him). That sounds
depressing, but that summer, I stayed home to help take care of him. Due
to his burns, he couldn't stand particularily warm or cool weather so
we would get up early in to sit on the front porch in the early morning
cool before it got hot. My dad loved to fish and since he couldn't that
summer, we would 'fish' off the front porch into the grass. It seems
stupid, casting into grass with fishing poles to collect clumps of grass
or sticks, but I bonded with my dad so much that summer, laughing at
who 'caught' the smallest fish (clumps of grass) and casted the
farthest. Also, taking care of him that summer showed me how to put my
discomfort and wants aside to help someone I love, and I hope to use
that in any incident that needs it in the future.
