I feel like crying- this is such a precious blog. David is totally unique-himself in all ways. Do you suppose that God knew that and created David to be David, himself? YES INDEED.

I love you, David. You always make me smile. Love, Aunt Kate

Happy Birthday David. I remember when your Mom told me God had a plan to bring them another precious child. Soon after that declaration, we knew you were coming in nine months. I visited your mom that summer in the Duckabush to see a beautiful baby boy! God has a GREAT plan for your life David!

You may not remember the little details, but you’ll remember the whole package that is David.

I was just feeling sad TODAY on the way home from church that I can remember feeding my son his first solid food. I can remember my daughters first bite as well…my other two? no clue. I have no idea at all. But, I do know that I must have fed them, as they’re living still.

just not as exciting to tell your little girl.

Happy Birthday David!

I have the same sentiments - My memory is poor and I wished I had taken more time to write down things my kids did and describe their childhood more vividly. Thanks to photographs - they tremendously help in keeping memories

Go take lot of photos! It’s worth it

I don’t remember anything either. It drives me crazy. I have the intention of journaling and photographing, but time just goes faster than my intentions. You are definitely much further ahead of me in solving the dilemma. By the way, we have the same red ’special’ plate. :>)
Many Blessings,
Holly

Take heart, you may not have a bad memory at all. I’m like Tim and can remember all sorts of details about childhood, but I’m almost blank when it comes to my teenage years. College details are a bit fuzzy, save one angle–my husband.

Over the years, I’ve found out that certain things trigger long term memory in me. The outdoor adventures I had with my childhood friends is something that I seemed to latch onto. The only childhood birthday party I remember was one that we did outside with lots of activities. I remember many events in those kinds of settings–even events in high school.

So see, your memory trigger may be the smiles and hugs of your kids and things like preparing wonderful birthday parties and butterscotch pancakes.
