I love hearing about yours. There really must be something about falling asleep to a particular sound, huh?unschoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05638020820430345739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316286562459084280.post-55879039753531968152011-02-25T20:47:09.825-08:002011-02-25T20:47:09.825-08:00This is such a beautiful post. I love the memories...This is such a beautiful post. I love the memories you have of certain sounds that gave you comfort. I have two very strong sound memories. The first one is the sound of my mother typing on a typewriter long into the night hours. She was typing university student papers for extra money at night (after her full time day job, with 5 kids to boot!?) this was particularly soothing to me because I knew my mom was home, I could hear her typing.<br /><br />My second is the sound of hockey games on tv. My grandma's boyfriend used to sit in his chair and watch hockey and I would be dozing off listening to the sound of the announcer give a play by play of the game. Strangely comforting, perhaps because it was so regular and familiar.<br /><br />Thanks for triggering these memories for me! I wonder what sounds our kids are going to remember as significant?Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02290297528911495044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316286562459084280.post-28704086616381407082011-02-25T19:26:51.665-08:002011-02-25T19:26:51.665-08:00What a beautiful, special blog xWhat a beautiful, special blog xfairymelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316286562459084280.post-68496747504949890692011-02-25T15:15:34.568-08:002011-02-25T15:15:34.568-08:00Well, I was trying to be diplomatic!

Certainly that simple receipt meant a lot to them, but so much more to you for the memories it evoked.<br /><br />Your post brought tears to my eyes.
