I don't have an 'exact' picture to illustrate my most treasured memory, so i have just included some pictures of 'little' me to give a bit of colour to this post...The treasured memory of my childhood is about my grandfather, Leslie who passed away when I was 25 months old (A little older than picture below) He was my mothers father and i had a lot to do with him. My treasured memory is actually my first ever memory, were I was sitting at pop's kitchen table, on a blue chair with a plate of chicken... I was playing with my food and pop said to me 'Charlie Rabbit, if you don't eat your tea I'll feed it to the pigeons (he had pigeons) and I replied simply with 'but poppy, pigeons don't eat chicken.' I treasure this memory because of my pop who passed away not long after, it is such a vivid memory where I can still picture his face. I also treasure that i remember and can hear him calling me 'Charlie Rabbit', which was his pet name for me. This gentleman was apart of my life for only two years, of which I was only a baby and still remains an inspiration to me... My son's name is now Charlie, and he has taken on the nickname "Charlie Rabbit", and it is also the name of a new venture in my life.
