Readers Respond: What was the happiest moment of your childhood?
As a child you’d always hear your parents say “they grow up so fast”.
And they’re not wrong because soon enough you were saying that to your children who are now saying it to your grandchildren.
It’s insane how time flies and we decided to ask our readers to think back to their happiest childhood moment.
Check out some of your responses below.
Cate Titulaer - Being in the warmth of my grandparents' love.
Pat White - Mum died in January when I was 11 and my aunt made me a wonderful birthday cake in June. It was Cinderella's coach with six white horses and even footmen, a magic time for me, such a caring auntie.
Tracey Baker - Going to work with my dad on the freight trains or spending time with dad anywhere.
Pam Ballard - Time with my grandparents. I realised now how lucky I was to spend nearly every weekend with them.
Gay Sharran Gold - When my father came home and told me we were going to see The Beatles perform at Sydney Hordern Pavilion! Omg I was a total fanatic!
Margaret Inglis - Didn't have a 'happiest' moment. All my childhood was happy.
Trisha Springbett - Not that I was aware of it at the time, but being adopted by my wonderful parents.
Keralie Stack - Christmas Day was always an open house with family, friends and some who didn't have families. Lots of laughter, games for the kids and enough food for everyone. Great memories.
Evelyn Hayward - Gosh, I don’t think I could pick just one. We were not ‘well off’ but neither was anyone else we knew but had a simple childhood with so much freedom and playing outside, food on the table and warm, loving home. Always someone to play with.
Janine Jan Fran Kells - Living with my sister Valda and her family when l was about 7. She made me feel very special and have always loved her for it.
