(I am taking part in The Write Tribe Festival of Words 8th – 14th December 2013. This post is part of the 7 posts series )
There is a congregation of people. Everyone is talking in soft voices. Sombre mood alighted the house. White clothes around. A group of people were carrying a white casket away. One of the ladies in the family is pushing her face onto the window grill in the sitting room . I can see her tears. I donot know what is happening.
Later on, after recalling this to my mother, she pointed out, that would have been the funeral of my father's second uncle.
I was 3 years old. This is my first memory.
Which is your earliest childhood memory? From what age do we start recollecting incidents ?
Amazing what a person recalls at such a young age! You described it so vividly as if I was a participant in a dream. Lovely and well written! ♥
