February 6th 1985
I went cycling from my home to the local stately home which had a deer park. I was about half way there and a voice beside me. My little brother had followed me.
We spent the afternoon riding round the park until we found the deer, then just sat and watched them graze while we drank a couple of cokes I'd taken for myself.
We hadn't been doing things together long, just a few months. That day was the last time we got to do anything together.
A week later he had a minor operation and had to spend a week recuperating.
Two weeks later to the day he went out cycling on his own and got killed turning across the path of a car - his fault, not the driver's.
My happiest memory and the one that makes me cry as well.

I don't know about happiest, but this one does come to mind. When we were in grad school me and my sister still liked to sing nursery rhymes. Our favourite was the Itsy Bitsy Spider.. I had a spider hand puppet when I was little that me and my sister would take turns crawling around and making up new verses and adventures for Itsy Bitsy to go on. I remember it was this cute, black spider puppet that we would crawl around, up each others arms and sometimes tickle each other as we sang the song. We had a best friend who would come over and he would sing nursery rhymes with us too. We would play hand puppets and reenact nursery rhymes with the puppets. I also remember one Halloween, me and my sister dressed up as spiders. The costumes were both all black, we both had black gloves and long black pants. We both had black T-shirts and 4 arms attached to the shirt. Our friend dressed up as a fly and we would sing itsy bitsy spider to him and tickle him. We got a lot of candy cause we would sing itsy bitsy spider when we went trick-r-treating. I still have photos of us pretending to be scary spiders and him pretending to be scared. And then some of us giving him what we called "spider hugs". They are really cute. We had lots of fun times growing up, playing dress up and acting out nursery rhymes. Playing spider hide and seek, which we of course made up. I can still remember some of the verses we made up for the Itsy Bitsy Spider. We had so much fun with this song. Spider hide and seek was a game we made up where whoever was it was the spider, they had to wear black gloves, and everyone else were bugs. When the person who was the spider found someone, they would sing Itsy BItsy Spider and tickle them. It was so much fun. I could tell you some of the verses we made up if you want. They were quite fun. I remember who ever had the spider puppet would sometimes crawl the spider puppet towards one of the other two and say something like "the Itsy Bitsy Spider is gonna get you!" and the person would jokingly say "oh no, not the spider!" Ususally me and my sister would gain up on our friend and tickle him with the spider puppet and sing Itsy Bitsy Spider. He was a good sport about it.
I guess my childhood friend? Elementary school, even pre-school actually. Pudgy fat kid named Mathew. Was always friends in school and wanted them to hang out but they were a legit momma's boy. It was funny because they literally lived next to the school. It was the first house and he'd wave to them and sometimes they'd even.. drive him? It was ridiculous.
I broke his shell by pestering them about it and they were super anxiety ridden about it but they did it and I think I really helped yank him out of the hole he bore himself in. Great friend up until fifth grade, and then they moved. Last real friend I ever had. Circumstances and time-period made it so that contact just wasn't a thing, he's on my friend list on platforms but I don't know, just no point in talking. Maybe it's just because I am depressed but I also enjoy being lazy sometimes a bit much.I don't know... so many.
Christmas time and Christmas morning when Santa brought me the toy I'd been dreaming of for months, the Christmas lights, music... etc.
Spending the night at my friends houses and staying up all night goofing off and playing, being noisy and the parents getting up and telling us to be quiet.

All the crushes I had on various girls as a kid.Christmas morning with all the presents underneath the tree and when my parents would pick me up from someplace or when I was staying somewhere they would visit me, I was always so happy to see them
