What is your first memory? This is topic that interests me. I recall meeting some extended family members around the age of 3.5.

My first memory is from the age of 5 or so. I am running around the house after having seen my mom take the dosage for the syringe out of the fridge. (daily or perhaps weekly shot for asthma). The cover of the box with the dosages is cardboard, rectangular and colored grey and red. My mom always says she's amazed at how well I remember the box. Pure fear lol. I always try to duck the shot.

All of my next few memories are from age six when I'm living away from the family on the coast, in a convalescence center for minors who have asthma and other pulmonary diseases. I remember school there, the hospital, the pet farm, the pitches (we played kid's hockey all the time) - all of these were on site, it was a huge facility.

I remember one of the people who helped out there having no lower arms (yep) and I also remember that one day a kid wasn't there anymore because he'd died. I remember learning my first few words of French , I remember the little costumes they had for us. And the dormitories where we had to sleep on those big ass blue sports mats they normally use for the landing in high jumping or whatever it's called in English.

Strangely, I have close to zero memories from before the syringe and the same goes for the first year back home after the convalescence resort.
