[QUOTE="klmno, post: 185257, member: 3699"] My childhood had a few very painful periods, but before the teenage years: 1) Daddy picking me up and swinging me around or hugging me or letting me sit on his lap while he drank his morning coffee, and memories of that after her died (He died unexpectedly when I was 5yo). I can remember him coming down the steps, ready to go to work, and he'd just showered and shaved so his hair was perfectly combed and he looked so handsome and he would be whistling and seemed so happy and he would smile and pick me up. To this day, the smell of Old Spice brings a smile to my face, a warm feeling in my heart, and tears to my eyes. 2) The John Deere "tractor" (it was really a large riding mower). Daddy would put it in first gear and let me drive it by myself! And, sometimes my mom would put the "bucket" on the rear in tow and let me ride in the bucket while she drove erraticly thru the yard! I would be bouncing and giggling the whole time! 3) Camping vacations with my aunt and uncle. 4) Getting a puppy. 5) Talks with my step-father, particularly the talk he had with me right after he married my mom.
