My Earliest Memory


My earliest memory was a long time ago. All I can remember of it was waking up when I was very young, and very anxiously running downstairs to see my grandma in our rocking chair, who then calmed me down and got me to fall back to sleep.
I must have been very young, I know I could walk and I must have had some idea of how to talk, but we moved when I was 6, so, I would guess I was around 3 or 4.
It is memorable for 1) because it is one of my very few memories of my grandma, she died when I was still very young, and 2) because I remember feeling incredibly anxious, followed by feeling incredibly calm and relaxed, and I don't remember ever feeling that same transition again.
It's hard to tell if my personality was the same because I was so young. I'm not a particularly anxious person now, but I do still like rocking chairs and being held by grandmothers, so I would say overall my personality is the same.
