"We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph." -Elie Wiesel
WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?
Playing with toys but feeling insecure and sad because my Mom took away my blanket and threw it away before I was ready. I was around 4. I depended on it because 11 months after I was born my Mom had a premature baby and was very busy. Plus she was sick a lot and my Dad was away a lot on business. So I think the blanket became important to me as a substitute for my Mom.
