This is a tough one. Lots of memorable experiences.
One I've been thinking of a lot lately is the first time I remember seeing the ocean, on a family vacation with my cousin. We ran down the beach, through the sea oats and into the Florida surf, laughing and splashing each other. Then posed for the obligatory photo op. This is especially poignant, given his suicide 2 weeks ago. So that particular memory is close right now.
Another very powerful memory is being by my brothers bedside, holding his hand as he took his last breath and went to a far better place. I contrast that memory with all the beautiful ones I have of us over the years.
Forgettable? More like ones I wish I could forget.
