I remember a camping trip that our family went on, one summer years ago: Our family met up with my dad's twin brother (and his wife, Mary) and we camped at a park that seemed very deep in the forest. Upon our arrival and after getting the tents set up and the camp fire going, the sun had already gone down and it was eerily quiet - but I could hear the roar of the surf of the ocean, even though it seemed far away, and I could hear the subtle noise of the forest, which permeated the atmosphere around our camp. Anyway, my dad and his twin brother, chief cooks for both of our families, were busy trying to cook something for all of us to eat. As I remember it, I didn't want to just hang around watching my brothers and my other sister re-enact every sibling dispute possible in their entire lives; so my mother's big idea, for me, was to suggest that I go walking around the path that encircled the park campsites. So I did just that; except I think I must have been walking for what seemed hours and during that walk around the campsite, I became terribly anxious about losing my sense of direction and where my family was because, as I remember it, my mother saw me in tears and according to her, after having walked past my own family for what seemed a thousand times, she came out and grabbed me by the arm as I was passing by my family again and I was so grateful that my mother did that! I thought I was lost forever and I was terribly hungry.

K.D. Lang singing Crying as she walked onto the darkened stage. No band, no orchestra, two songs with just her pure voice, then the show of a lifetime.

Speaking of K.D. Lang, I remember going to hear her in concert in SF for the first ever. She has already been a successful artist for many years and now I finally get to see her. The concert was great but what I will always remember is the K.D. Lang performed the entire concert in her bare feet.

I remember when I was four, five, and six, my mother took me to ballet lessons. I have no idea how they afforded it because we were very poor. I remember that she would drop me off early and I'd look at all of the pictures on the walls of ballerinas, maybe some of them were Degas copies, but I just couldn't believe how perfect they all looked. The first year I had used ballet slippers, but the second year I got a brand new pair, pink, with a small gold-coloured ballerina charm on the strap. I also got a little case to keep them in with my leotard and tights. I took my classes very seriously, but would never practice outside of the studio. I wouldn't even talk about it to my friends or family. During my third year I told my mother I didn't want to take ballet anymore, and when she asked why, I said ballet teachers have the worst posture and I don't want to have a bent back. The real issue was that back then I was making sure to pray to God every night that if He would make me a real boy I would never do anything bad again in my life. I believed He was testing me. (Ballet was a "girl thing" and my mom was always trying to push me into "girl things" like ballet, being a stewardess, a nurse, playing with dolls etc)

I remember reaching up for my dad's hand, how huge it felt to me. I remember him calling out when he came through the door every night, Hello the house!
