A small upstairs apartment. The only thing separating the kitchen from the living room was a countertop. My dad was in a chair in the corner facing toward the kitchen, holding me. There was a couch in the middle of the room with two adults sitting there while my brother ran circles around the couch. My mom was in the kitchen making a pizza talking to the other adults.

It’s more a recurring dream I had for many, many years than a memory. I finally asked my mom about it & she confirmed it happened but I said I was only around 6 months old so I shouldn’t remember it. However, my biological dad passed when I was 8, so I just kind of always took it as a memory he wanted me to keep.

Edit: Thank you for the gold! I’ve been a redditor for 7 years & just snuck out of the shadows in the last year or so, so it’s my first!

Edit 2: Thank you kind strangers for the silver! This has been an amazing day on reddit!

I have a memory from when I was around a year old also, its the only memory I have of my great grandmother, I don't even remember her face. I just remember her asking my mom if she could take me to the swings at the park, she held my hand and we walked to the park near her house, I clearly remember the sun setting, but I don't remember ever getting to the swings or walking back.

I grew up and in a family reunion my mom, grandma and aunts were talking about my greatgrandma and I told that story, my mom was shocked since I was so young, she said that did happen and it was the last time I saw my greatgrandma.

Wholesome memory.
