What is something that you never forgot?

What it felt like walking home from school as a kid and dreading to see my dad's car in the driveway. I can still remember what that house on the last corner I had to turn looked like and I'd be praying, "Please don't let him be home yet, please, please!" But I'd turn the corner and his car'd usually be there.
 

I will never forget the first time I saw my now wife. We met through a grief recovery chat room and agreed to meet for lunch. After lunch, I walked her to her car and said the smartest thing I have ever said...:I would like to see you again"
We will be celebrating our 18th anniversary next month. :D
 
I was 12 years old and my cousin was 10 when we heard the words from our grandfather that I remember to this day and can still see him telling us:

” treat those horses the way you want to be treated or find yourselves sitting on the porch for the rest of the summer.”

That was the year we started training his horses to ride and drive for him to sell. it was a simple but impactful sentence and rings true today as much as it did back then.
 
Like anyone, there are many things I've never forgotten, so it's hard to decide which one to say. I'll go back to one of my first clear memories. I was about 3 years old and very sick in bed, but through the window, I was watching my dad building a swing set for me in the back yard. I think that was the best medicine toward making me get well sooner.
 
i never forgot my childhood phone number.
Me neither..I still remember that number , but that was just 4 numbers... but I can't remember my phone number here at the house now... which is now 11 numbers...

I also can remember my mothers' co-op dividend number which had to be given everytime we bought something ...

I also remember my first husbands' Naval ID number.. which is 8 numbers and letters long .... but I can recite it straight off the top of my head...

I also know my National Insurance number very easily.. most people can't remember theirs...
