Hello Everybody!
As you can tell by the title this is my earliest childhood memory.
My earliest childhood memories only consist of my family and I visiting my Pop (Grandfather) in the hospital when i was 3 years old.

One time, i remember, my family and I went into his hospital room and as soon as my Pop saw us, his face lit up, he was so happy to see some family and i walked over to him and gave him a hug and it felt like he never wanted to let me go. After that happened i can't remember much else, but he i do remember he gave me a small wooden bumble bee, that i still have to this day, me being a stupid 3 year old walked over to a vending machine and was going to put it in there, but then everyone was say "No, don't do it, get back here" which right after i felt extremely bad for doing.
A while later i was sitting near the front door in the lounge room playing with my barbies and my Mum came home and she looked very sad, drained and pail in the face, she looked as if she had been crying. After that day my Mum just didn't want to do anything, neither did my Dad and my brother seemed sad as well, i had no idea what was going on.
Turns out my Pop had passed away.
After this had all happened My family and I went to a church dressed in black, i didn't know what was happening, all i knew was that everyone was dressed in black, my uncle, aunty, cousins and people i didn't know were there crying. I was standing on the seat looking around thinking "why is everyone crying? Why are we here?" I then sat down and watched the man up the front talk about my Pop and how he will be forever in our hearts.
A few years later i had adjusted to what all of it was about and the sadness hit me, just not as hard as it hit my family because i couldn't really remember a lot, but i did remember my Pop and i was sad that i will never get to see him again. To this day i miss him and i wish he was still here.
My Pop was to young to have left. He was 57 years old and he died of Pancreatic cancer.
I love my Pop, i'll always remember him.
