  My first memories are of life in Japan with my mother and father. I remember the apartment we lived in. It was very small and had a stuffed duck on a bungee cord in the kitchen doorway. I liked to pull it and watch it bounce up and down. There was a small shelf next to the door that had a little rice cooker up there.

  I remember my snow suit and playing in the snow. I remember the Japanese snow festivals, where they made huge ginormous statues from ice and snow. One was in the shape of a building and you walked up these big slippery stairs in the back and slid down a slide made of ice in the front. My dad actually saved a newspaper clipping where there is a picture of me sliding down that slide in my little snow suit I remember.

  I remember my parents fighting. I was sitting in her lap as she was cross legged on the floor and he was yelling at her. She was crying and holding me tight. I just remember being scared, not understanding why she was crying.

  I remember the "view" I had while sitting in my playpen. I also remember trying to pronounce my sister's name, but I couldn't pronounce the "n" and I got quite frustrated. Both events happened before the age of two. We moved when I was almost 4, and I remember a lot of the house we moved out of. The house, the garden, the street..

  My grandfather passed away when I was 3 1/2. I remember the entire event quite vividly, especially how I would stay awake at night and stare out the window, because I was told that the angels would come and take him to heaven in a golden carriage.

  I must have blotted out my earliest childhood because I can only begin remembering things around the time I first went to school. I recall playing once with the pots and pans in the kitchen cabinets. I wonder if it is a coincidence that I am currently working in a Soup Kitchen. I also remember the trauma of the first few days at school, especially when the teacher told us that she no longer would speak to us in French because we were there to learn English. I didn't want to be there and I thought I would never "catch on." But I was mistaken.

  I remember when I was 3 or so. I woke up late one night and was thirsty. I remember telling my dad I needed a drink and he was sitting in the living room watching tv. He had a bottle of beer in his hands and he handed it too me. I slammed all the beer that was in the bottle and he was amazed.

  It's kinda strange how most here remember when they were 3

  I remember JUNE 29, 2005. This was the day I joined JWD. It was a very, very, very bad day. My past reared its ugly head. Hence my name,

  Horrible Life. I am so happy I found this site. It has helped me overcome the fear of JW's. and their beliefs. I have found some new cybor friends. HL

  I remember being a baby too young to walk or to understand words other than my name. I thought with feelings and observations.

  That is weird experience as I can recall a time before I could walk and understand words. I have thoughts of seeing my mom being visited by I think it was my grandmother and aunt but not being able to understand what they were saying. It was a very frustrating experience to say the least. Will
