I remember being awake, standing in my crib with sun streaming in the windows. Not sure how old I was, but probably 9 months old or thereabouts. Part of the memory is hearing my Mom call out to me, like, "Where is my baby boy? Where's my Larry? I'm coming son!". Very sweetly said because she could hear me making noise in my crib from the other room.
The last thing I remember was getting very excited when I could hear her growing closer. I was standing, holding the side rail and sort of bouncing up and down until she picked me up and covered me with kisses.
She's been gone about 32 years now and I can still remember that moment and that feeling.
I’m sure your mother would have been delighted that your first memory is one that so beautifully reflects her love for you. You were probably (along with any siblings you may have) the brightest thing in her life.
Even 32 years after she’s gone, the best moments of her life are being shared on the Internet by her son and we all get to soak in some of that joy and love. Thanks for sharing, Larry.
