my brother had a really hard time remembering some "good" times from childhood too..... always was told from him, remembers nothing but bad things.

I remember our cats that we had and some other things. I would share them with him. He remembered the cats too that i spoke of.

I know some times we would talk about things that were suppose to be fun but ended due to a true to soul accident occurred or they still had bad memories attached. like when the neighbor kids and him racing, and the little kid cut him off and my brother braked and flipped his bike.. he had to get stitches, and mom complained...

Some memories i had, my brother actually helped me out with-
like I have this very odd memory that there was a wall put up to close off a room in the old house, i must had been like 4 when this happened, and always thought "i am making this up".. No, I was not making it- My brother was shocked that i remembered such event - he let me know it was the pantry room that the house used to have, that was closed up, due to some reason.
I also remembered the wooden squirrels on the banister -- my brother remembered them too... us kids running around on the porch and stuff.

It may sound odd but he really remembered those things, but did not have a bad memory to them either.


What about school memories?

Some times i remember my 2nd grade teacher a lot- she was such a nice woman that cared.

It can be hard and I am not sure if you have some old photos, or someone you can talk to when you were little to try to help out a bit? Or like Open Eyes mentions, music has a deep connection to us some times.
