Unconditional love and care

I was a sickly asthmatic child. Another very early memory is of mother carrying me at night (in the upright position with my chest on her front) because I had difficulty breathing with congested lungs. Everyone else was asleep.
I got an attack once a month until I was about 13. It fell onto mother to take me to the GP. After the GP we would have to stop by a sweet shop. I needed an incentive to take medication. In those days the pills were in powder form and oh so bitter and the liquid stuff was horrible. As I got older I had to take it myself and I would sit staring at it for 10 mins and everytime mother walked by in the kitchen she would be urging me to take it. To this day I hate swallowing pills unless it's in capsule form.

Starting the ball rolling .....................

Today is actually the 30th and it's SC's birthday. One of my earlier memories is when our brothers babysat us when our parents attended a wedding. Something happened and we both started bawling and they tried very hard to make us stop. This was in the Kluang Jalan Masjid house I think. I have no recollection of the previous house.
My childhood as far as I'm concerned was fairytale like. We had a small bicycle and a metal car which we can pedal. Although they were handmedowns from the Sandy Tan family, such possessions were uncommon. These days of course kids have so much.
I hope everyone gets into the swing of things and post some memories!

Inaugural Day!

I have been meaning to set this up for awhile and will allow all siblings/nieces/nephews to write memories of mother and father or just memories of our childhood! I just want to google their names and have something come up. Plus their memories will live on in cyberspace. Also happy if there's others close to us who wish to write. Just give me their email addresses and I will add.
