I keep in my mind many memories of my childhood and although many years have passed I do not forget them. That is why I have chosen this topic from all those proposed by Galenkp for this weekend.
Share a photograph of yourself as a young kid and explain what you loved about your childhood and also what you didn't like. Your own photos are essential.
What I liked most about my childhood and what I keep in my thoughts and my heart today as something indelible was the love and affection with which my family raised me. I was spoilt by everyone, especially my great aunt, who went out of her way to give me all the treats I wanted. I have mentioned Tita in other publications because she and my parents were essential in my life. I was born in 1952, a challenging year in Cuba, a year of great poverty, and although my father worked as a tobacco worker in a factory, what he earned was not enough to support the family, nevertheless, they gave me a very happy life and provided me with many pleasures.
My grandmother used to bake for the street and was in charge of making for me those pretty dresses full of ornaments and bows, she always said that for her I was her doll. I remember that along with the gowns she made with satin fabrics, loose nylon, cotton and lace, she would look for the right shoes for me and take me to a shop where she would make the shop assistant take down many boxes until she found the most beautiful ones for me so that I would feel comfortable.
She used to buy me fruits that were not harvested in Cuba, such as apples, pears and grapes, the latter I liked very much and I would peel them because she said they would not cause me any harm.
What didn't I like in my childhood? Only when they made curls in my hair and they had to apply a chemical that had a pungent smell and they put some bone-shaped rolls to shape my hair and it hurt me a lot, their whims because my hair was straight.
I believe that my happy childhood was the basis for who I am today and the way I raised my two daughters, the way my daughters also grew up in their grandparents' home where they were raised in a loving environment.
Thank you @galenkp for this topic that gave us the opportunity to remember our childhood. My gratitude to you for reading this far and Happy Holidays to all.

What a beautiful childhood and how sweet they have been with you... I loved the fruit, they made every effort to make sure you had the best. That's beautiful.... the curls, well the parents like certain things hahahaha
Good night! And thank you always!😘😘😘
Thanks to you, how always so attentive and affectionate with me. Yes, they loved me very much I no longer have Tita, nor my father but my mother is there and those photos a few days ago she told me to keep them. Thank you my friend. A hug 🤗🥰❤️
A big hug for you and have a beautiful day!😘
@mamani, you have beautiful memories from your childhood, especially of your grandmother. You indeed looked like a doll in these dresses 😉 - so sweet baby 😇
And why do they have to try to curl your hair? 😵
The curly hair was a whim of theirs, they said it was prettier. That lasted until my youth. The end of the year is not far away, and I wish you many beautiful things for the new year. A hug 😘🤗❤️
Thank you and all the best to you too in the last days of this year and in the new 2025 year too!!
Forgetting the wavy hair, it is a very beautiful childhood, I like to read how you have been cared for and loved in spite of the difficulties. Of your daughters, I only know a little bit of one of them, who is a very beautiful being, and I'm sure you have some responsibility for that.
As always it is a pleasure to read you. Merry Christmas, @mamani.
Thank you, @ for your compliments, my other daughter has many things in common with me, I wish you knew her. It is also spectacular how @nanixxx was in Hive and we have encouraged her to continue. But she will be back and you will meet her. I see you liked my photos as a child. I was very happy indeed. Kids never know how sacrificial their parents are.
One end of the year is coming and a new one will come. All good things to you and above all successes. A big hug.🤗🥰
In addition to being a good mother, you also look spectacular in Hive.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year @mamani. 🤗
What a beautiful girl! A hug and many good things at the end of the year.
Thank you very much... to you also a happy end of the year and success in 2025....🥰❤️❤️❤️

The love we received in our childhood, we never forget it, it remains engraved in such a special way in our minds that I believe it would be the last thought of our lives, right?
You look divine in your bow dress and flowing skirt, and happy in your photo...no doubt so much love was inherited for your daughters, and I know they are both very good people just knowing nanixxx.
Hugs to the special person you are.

Thank you very much for your kind words and for the appreciation you have for my daughters. Happy week. 🥰❤️
