RE: What Do You Actually Remember?

in Reflections18 hours ago

Or those scenes got printed in my head, because my parents told me about them many times over the years? Have you thought about this?

I have thought about this often. My father recently passed away. I have many stories I tell my kids about growing up. As I discussed a few of those stories with my siblings, I realized I was probably passing along stories I have heard and not actual memories of my own. On a different note, I also realized many of my stories were not true lol either I remembered them wrong being young at the time or misunderstood stories and retold them differently (different being wrong 🙄) Of course there are also stories I have knowingly and intentionally embellished over the years to make them better or to drive home a point haha
