Happiest Memories We asked people to send us a photo and write about their happiest childhood memory. | |
My happiest memory is of my great-grandmother. She always used to keep candy in her pockets, and she’d always give us some when we came to visit. My dad used to play jokes and say, “Grandma, don’t give them any candy!” But she did it anyway. — Rosa, Mexico | |
