re: Most memorable and forgettable family experience

Memorable, the evening of February 17th 1997, the wife and I drove all the way from KC to Chicago, arrived around 6PM, walked up the steps of a home and looked through a window and saw the foster mother holding the baby girl that would become the most important responsibility and love of our lives, next was Dec 22nd 1990 at the bedside of my mother, she was in a coma and was dying from liver failure due to hepatitis B, my mother was a nurse and contracted the disease before they new much about it, anyway several of us were in the room and she had not spoke for 36 hrs, we were all hoping for a miracle and she spoke her last words and said "Let me die!".
Most forgettable, hmmm, probably hearing of some 12 year boy nearly ripping their junk off.
