My great-grandma couldn't get around very well and someone had to stay with her while everyone was gone. I might have been around 12, and Chris would have been 10. Anyway, the two of us were doing something in the other room and she was watching tv, when the phone rang. I remember her asking me to get it for her. I said "Ok" and started to get up to do so.<br />She must not have heard me because she started going for the phone too. Just as I rounded the corner, she rounded the rocking chair, got caught on it and fell.<br />She couldn't get up either. So I answered the phone and it was one of my great-aunts I think. I told her what happened and she called my mom and my grandma (still shopping), who then called me. After all that talking, I brought my great-grandma a pillow, and Chris and I waited with her for maybe an hour. The ambulance got there slightly before everybody else.<br />It was super scary :( But idk if I'd want to forget it or not.Ellienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782322998406687709.post-16601137686199018212011-03-17T20:12:11.408-07:002011-03-17T20:12:11.408-07:00MW,

I think a powerful memory that sticks with me is and this is pretty graphic: my mother suffering with mental illness attempting suicide and seeing my dad crying about it. Those two events happening to me at the age of 10 were the most frightening things even to this day and have stayed with me my entire life. Wish there were a way to forget.MW Library Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10125023012532976090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782322998406687709.post-71655521001763443482011-03-17T15:59:35.111-07:002011-03-17T15:59:35.111-07:00Hmmm, well, it seems the anger only reared up 20 y...Hmmm, well, it seems the anger only reared up 20 years later!!

Gae, your mom is gorgeous. You look just like her (and your dad's no slouch either ;) ).<br /><br />I don't have memories like this, but I do remember when I was 19 coming back from college for a weekend at home with my folks. Only to find out that my mom had taken a trip out west and wasn't home. Only to have my dad break the news to me that they were getting divorced. I was in total shock. I'd just bragged to a group of friends the week before that my parents were completely in love. I had no idea. And then for my mom to take off in the hour of need was so strange. Okay, not a life/death situation, but it did mark me!<br /><br />xo BarbaraDeb and Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444390852070865517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782322998406687709.post-46508299491146769912011-03-17T06:53:09.865-07:002011-03-17T06:53:09.865-07:00Wow, Megan.

I had to read twice to realize it was yours, not part of the book (it's early, and I am typing this from my phone in the dr.'s office with sick kid), but wow. No wonder you have such insight to the mind of tweens and teens with a powerful memory like that to draw upon. <br /><br />Yes, i do want to be entered in drawing, lol. I know of a teen reader girl who would love to get this book, and the neat stuff with it.:)) (Kym's daughter, Taylor).Tracy Walshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558572080464012811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782322998406687709.post-40860227872607667122011-03-17T06:12:20.136-07:002011-03-17T06:12:20.136-07:00My moment to forget came from high school.

I went to a Catholic school and every year the seniors went on what they called a pilgrimage, which was a long hike (took all day, probably ten miles or so) followed by some togetherness and camping.<br /><br />As we walking, and I wasn't in the best shape, so I was near the last 1/4 of students hiking, one of the other students runs back past us. We asked what was going on, he said a girl in our group Kristin had collapsed. <br /><br />Like I said, it was a long hike, and I knew Kristin was struggling, she was at the way back of the hikers, a couple other stayed back to keep her company. They did offered her to get in the van at the last point we could, and she declined.<br /><br />Well, I got a couple bee stings to my head along the way, and had a bad reaction so by the time we got to the camp, I had to lay down, and I fell asleep.<br /><br />Later, our school counselor came in and said I had to come out to the group. I asked what was going on and she said Kristin had died, and our teacher, Mr. Fish, who had trudging through a creak trying to get her back to the road after she collapsed, had hypothermia and was in bad shape.<br /><br />It was a surreal experience, just waking up and hearing that news, almost like I was dreaming.Megan Bostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811715491350987530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782322998406687709.post-41719243947456376222011-03-17T04:30:11.591-07:002011-03-17T04:30:11.591-07:00Gae,
