An Answermug friend just took me back to being 3! I remember it so vividly. That was 78 years ago! WHY do I remember that far back?

Some things remain in my brain so vividly it's as if they happened yesterday. WHY and HOW is that possible? Yet my short-term memory leaves much to be desired. I don't get it.Do you?

    So what do YOU remember at that age tom? I was living in Highland Park, Michigan where I was born. We moved to California when I was 3 and I remember the trip from there to California vividly as well. I saw a deer and I asked my mom if that were Bambi and she said yes it was. She was a very cool mom. I remember making snow angels dressed in my snowsuit in the winters in Michigan. I remember going to a park. Of course part of the memory loss was due to the chemo I had in 2008 for 6 months. I was told it could affect my memory and it did. Some of my life is gone. Wiped out of my memory bank as if it never happened. YET apparently not those of very long ago. I think that's really curious. Thank you for your reply! :) This post was edited by RosieG at April 27, 2019 9:27 AM MDT
