I learned in a psychology class that your first memory is very telling of your personality. My first memory is of my dad going away for the weekend and being scared he wasn't coming back. And I've had abandonment issues.

My first memory is triggered by either one of two scents: old leather or machine oil. (I remember in a college psychology class hearing that young children's memories are often connected to smells.)

I can remember tromping across a cement train platform, hearing my footsteps reverberate and the hissing sound of the train, the din of people's conversations in the background. I reach the train and climb steps that seem almost as high as my knees, pulling myself up each step with the handrail. Entering the sitting compartment, I scramble into the red leather bench seat with dark wood trim, up on my knees feeling the seat give a little under my shins, grasping the wood trim at the top of the seat back, which feels a little cool. I then look out the window to see my parents walking on the platform towards the steps I just climbed to board the train. I'm aware that my brother is here with me, his rust-colored hair in my peripheral vision. I can feel my cheek muscles pulling my face into a big, enthusiastic grin.

(And that's where it ends. I don't remember my parents boarding. I don't remember ever sitting down. I don't remember the train's departure. This memory is circa 1979, when I was 4 years old, and probably from when my dad's US Army deployment in West Berlin ended and the family moved back to the States, which we left when I was a mere infant. - My only memory of living abroad is coming home. I guess early memories are telling of personality. I like going on trips, but I always feel some happiness and relief heading home again. Family is most important to me, and the trips that I remember most fondly are the ones I go on with my family. --- On that note, my ex-wife recently divorced me and will soon be moving across the country with our two youngest kids. I won't be able to follow them for 4 months. Because I know myself so will, I already know that I'm going to miss them all like crazy, and then when I do move, I'll miss the family I'm leaving behind...my two grown kids, my two grandkids, and my parents.)

All my important memories have strong emotional ties, and most of them are tied to family.
