As far back as I can remember is the memory of a trip with my parents to Hawaii. I literally must have been no older than three years old and still have glimpses and images that I remember when I look back on the trip. It is somewhat remarkable how one's mind can have the ability to remember such things so many years in the past and at a time where one's brain is never fully developed. I am thankful though for the memory because most memories are something to look back on and cherish along with the memories that are lessons that are there simply to prepare us for the future and the obstacles that will evidently come along.
