My Childhood ToT or (This or That) Challenge

No matter how old we are today, we all have a childhood to look back on. This ToT (This or That) childhood challenge focuses on your life between one month and twelve years. 1. Would you rather be born in your decade or ten years later? — Okay, so I hate to say this, but I was born in 1975, and in no way whatsoever, should I have been born in that time era! Now, I know what your thinking, 10 years later right??? Ummm no, more like I probably should have been born in the 50’s maybe even way earlier than that! 2. Would you prefer still to have your favourite childhood toy or childhood best friend? — Unfortunately, I didn’t have any childhood friends between being born, and 12 years old. This Sounds weird right? Well, I didn’t fit in with people, and I stayed to myself. I had a favorite blue teddy bear, and this bassetthound stuffed dog! So it is the childhood toys I suppose. Don’t worry, I gather a few dear friends by the time I was 17 years old, and had a great time with them all. 3. Biggest childhood influencer: teacher or parent? — I would love to say my parents or a teacher! However, for me it was my grandfather! He was the most positive influence in my life, and he passed away, when I was 15 years old. Most 15 year olds were doing all the things they loved to do that summer. I spent the summer taking care of my grandfather, who was dying with cancer and a new born baby brother. My mother went through postpartum depression, and wasn’t feeling well, so I stepped in because I knew something was wrong. It was 1989, and she was in her forty’s. So it is hard at that age, I know! And that is why I did the best I could to be a good daughter. <a href="https://medium.com/the-challenged/my-childhood-tot-or-this-or-that-challenge-617399dcf3ad">Learn More</a>
