Memories are essential in every individual's life. It keeps one in remembrance of how we transited from one level to another. To every living creature, there's a memory attached to it. Memories are historic moment that enables one some times to reflect on the mercies of God and how God has been so faithful. One of the critical significance of memory is that it helps one to trace his or her background and to evaluate life's journey generally.
It's quite unfortunate to note that there are some that can't trace the records of their beginning in life this might be due to some factors which could be from the parents or the elsewhere. In my family for instance, every of my siblings had the privilege to take childhood snapshot and some even with passport but for me it wasn't like that. This is my spring board concerning this topic as part of my childhood memories. I can't never forget so easily how that I don't have an infant picture instead my first picture was when I was about five year. It almost created fear within me but I had to let it go and forge ahead with life.
When I saw the topic for this initiative, I was excited because is a rare opportunity to get myself back. One of the memories I can't easily forget was the kind of activities we engaged in. I had peers in the neighbourhood and mostly we move as a team to wherever we want especially of you sent one hmmm that means you have sent everyone oooooo. There was this day that they sent one of us to go and buy mangoes across the road. Immediately we noticed that, all of us stepped out together and escorted such person. Something happened to me badly that day. After we successfully bought everything, on our way back to cross the main road. The first set quickly crossed similarly the second while myself couldn't join any of the sets rather I decided to come on my own.
As I crossed, I couldn't carefully look at my left and right. As I entered, a vehicle picked me up and suddenly I found myself at the middle of the road crying and pleading for help. One of the legs was broken seriously. Some bones could even be seen outside. I was rushed to the closest health facility where the medical personnel attended to me abruptly. Blood was oozing out uncontrollably but thank God later stopped. Stitches were made and bondage properly placed.
As days keeps unveiling, the Lord showed me mercy and and finally I got myself back.
I can't play football with people presently because of the scar on the leg and if touched with force, it results to excruciating pain the more. Till date if i open my legs you could still trace what has happened on the leg. This left an indelible childhood experience for me and i dislike riding motorcycle or car but God is helping us.
Our uniqueness gives rise to different childhood experiences. As you read and comment on this post, i would like to appreciate everyone. Happy reflections too on your childhood experiences.
