As i have to go for a scary blood draw tomorrow ( at least for me) your piece reminds me a childhood memory.
When i was about five years old a nurse came into the house family for making to myself an injection probably a vaccin. I remember my fear was so high that i can help but frantically running to try to escape the "villain" nurse but no way and i ended up fainting.
My mum to comfort me bought me a pastry i am not sure maybe it was a "pain au chocolat". A simple act but she found this day something to kind of protect me.
Tomorrow even though i am an adult it will be the same i know i am going to inescapably faint but i will treat myself a pastry to rediscover this sort of comfort.
Am i always a child ? If yes i am happy to be one !
That is such a sweet memory. Thank you for sharing Stéphane! Sending my warmest wishes and hope everything goes well tomorrow! And enjoy that pain au chocolat!
I often worry that I'm going to loose memories I'm very fond of, I get annoyed when I realise some directions and street names in London are fading away. I find myself speaking with people I used to be close to when I was young and they remember our chats. I don't. I have chunks of my life I simply don't remember, including big parts of relationships. I really need to start writing it all down more often!
I suffer from the same predicament! More often than not I'll have no idea what an old friend's talking about when they bring up a detail from earlier in my life. I also struggle to remember details of friends' current lives even though I always make an effort to! I know I shouldn't but it still makes me feel like a bad friend, like I don't care enough to remember. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Gilda!
Thank you Darathtey for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. Would you say those are happy ponderings? Memories normally put a smile on my face. Even "bad" ones because thinking about them makes me realise how they've helped me grow.
Bonjour Val,

Very beautifully written, Val. I wish I came across your newsletter sooner!
I, too, ponder about memories often.
