Ever think that something that you may never forget could be something that other people involved may not even remember? I can't tell you how many times a friend has asked me if I remember a certain thing I had said or to recall an experience, and I either completely forgot about it until just mentioned, or don't remember it at all. For me, something I will never forget is from elementary school, and is one of the saddest thoughts and memories I have. It's something so small, and probably not remembered by the other person involved, but it's something I'll never forget.
My dad always walked me to my bus stop before school every morning. I would always sit on the side of the bus where my dad was visible outside, and we would always wave to each other as the bus lurched and headed down the street. On this one particular day, I was upset with my dad for whatever childish reason. I got on the bus, sat in my usual seat, but as the bus began to drive away and my dad waved from the street corner, I looked the other way and didn't wave back. I don't think the bus hit the bottom of the street before I immediately regretted my decision to be stubborn, and couldn't have felt worse. I was brought to tears with the thought of my dad waving to me that day, and to this day it's something I still feel horrible about. Funny how something so small & subtle can stick to you like this, haha :) Sorry dad! *waves*
