what are the moments that you've miss so much during your childhood?

What I miss the most from my childhood is the time I spent with my grandmother. She was a truely wonderful woman . I want to be the same kind of grandma to my grandbabies. My mom worked a lot of long hours and when she was working i stayed with Grandma Mattie. I miss her so bad. And of course the hanging out with the friends is missed as well.

What i miss during my childhood days are the story-tellings during my bedtime, simple toys that makes me smile the entire day, times spent with my cousins and grandparents, my wierd hair-dos, etc..=) Missed those days, too, but it's okay.. my father used to take a video of me when I was young and the cd's are still with me now.=)

What I miss from my childhood... Well, I miss my grandparents and spending summers in Europe with my relatives, cherish those memories more than anything. Also all the traveling we used to do as a family. I miss the lack of responsibility & worries of being a kid. Back then the most stressful part of your day would be what you were going to eat for dinner, or if you should do your homework before dinner? It sounds like you have some very special memories of your own.

Childhood times are full of sweet and unforgettable memories.There are so many that it is difficult to pinpoint one.However some stand out quite prominently.We as kids were fond of reading comic books and our favourites were Robin Hood,Cowboy and Indians etc. After reading we would enact them with bows and arrows made by us in one of my friends bungalow where there was a big garden and plenty of trees.We had toy pistols which we used for the cowboy enactment and we used our fertile imagination t make situations. It was grest fun. then the Divali festival,which just concluded last week, was a very special occaision.Divali or the festival of Lights comes once in a year and symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.A month before it started preparations in our house would start with preparations of delicious and mouth watering homemade sweets and other snacks. We kids would start making "killas" or small toy townships in the compound of our building and facing the road.On the first day of the 5 day festival this would be inaugarated with bursts of firecrackers. People would light oil lamps and hang lighted chinese paper lanterns outside their windows or balconies. Every building in the city and throughout the country would celebrate this poppular festival with great joy and gusto. The evenings would reverberate with thunderous fire crackers throughout the festival and everyone would wear new clothes made specially for the occaision.It was a joyous festival which, alas, today because of the bad economy, costly food materials is just a poor shadow of what it was during my childhood. Those days will never come again in my lifetime.

LOL well seeing how my childhood was a horrible one there really isnt anything I miss..except the chance to be a happy, safe child....

there are some things from my teen years that I miss though in spite of the fact that it was rough, there were some really good times too and some ppl that I'd love to find but would have no clue how to go about it..

I miss the days when I do not have to worry about tomorrow. What will I eat or worry about the future in general. When you are a child you feel free and there is pure happiness in being free playing or being out in the fields without having to worry.

If you're an adult, it seems that worrying becomes part of life and inevitable.

Hi xannebull,

I lived half my life in the province too, and I exactly know when you talk about "bayle", we call it "benefit dance" in my town. I never participated in any of the dances, but I go there to watch my friends. It actually became a venue for meeting old and new friends. What I miss most about my childhood is swimming in the river, my friends go there every weekend. The river, oh the river was crystal clear, we can even see creatures like fishes, crabs and shrimps creeping under the stones. On the way to the river we pass by a plantation of pineapples and guavas, and we pick fruits along the way, which we brought home after swimming. The owners back then just allowed us to get their produce, the only rule is get their permission. These days everything had to be bought, nothing is free anymore.

Funny that we both have the same story. Attending those forbidden disco was so fun and exciting. I'm not a good dancer but you can find me in disco places. And the most exciting is escaping from our house without getting noticed by my parent's. I have to lock the door of my room and go through the window.

I missed the Christmas caroling in the neighborhood with my friends. Every Christmas eve me and my childhood friends used to roam around the town singing Christmas songs in return of "kakanin"which we feasted right before 5:00am near the seaside.We had so much fun then with no complication.

I missed my life in the farm too which I used to live with my parents. I missed the day when I had to run around the rice field and chased every bird I saw. I missed the streams, river and valleys which I used to visit when I want to hide from my mother. The peaceful afternoon and the exciting morning plus the silvery thread of the moonlight at night. Those where the most wonderful part of my existence.

hi xannebull, i miss so much my childhood, i am so happy when i take out the album to see the old pictures,especially pictures taken in my childhood. but what i miss most is the friends in childhood. we do not meet each other often nowadays, but we miss each other and made a call often, we all know that time in childhood is the happiest.
