Hmm... I don't remember much from the time my mom passed until my present husband and I split up about 14 yrs ago. It was really a hard, painful time for me. My husband and kids remember a whole lot more than I remember of those days.

School was also very painful for me. I remember the bad times and don't remember any good times. However, I remember things that happened out of school during those years.

We tend to block the painful times of our lives. Maybe that's what happened to you. Just a thought.

You're not so "old" that you would start forgetting those things. They're pretty significant in anyone's life.
