*Marigolds*

What sight, smell, sound, or feeling that stands out from you childhood memory?

The sound that stand out from my childhood memory are the singing of the eagles and the singing of my grandfather that really sing like a professional. His voice you can heared from everywhere it was amazing thing. Also the smell of the rose of Jasmine I don't know is the same pronounce of English, but the Jasmine smell so sweet and good that you can stay feeling and smell it fo ever. But those thing were the things the I most enjoy in my life because I was with my family and friend and know I miss those thing that make me happy back on that time.
