I don't really want to post a picture because it really bothers me to think about it but 9-11. I was in school in nyc at the time and it was extremely traumatic for me and my doctor believes it is the cause of my vivid dreams and high anxiety that I've had ever since. I'll never forget the men and women who served that day but I really wish I could forget that memory of the actual event.
LU Spirit Rock in the middle of campus. It stayed like this until May 17, the day Dr. Falwell died.
I wish I could forget everything about that day. I was raised a Hokie, lived 45 minutes from campus, and 20 out of my graduating class of 42 went to Tech. It was horrifying to see the breaking news alert as I checked my e-mail in the computer lab between chapel and my next class. I ended up skipping classes that day, trying to track down friends, knowing cell phones weren't really working in Blacksburg, trying to relay messages from fb posts to parents who didn't have facebook and just waiting for a name you recognized to pop up on the Killed or Injured list. Thankfully, miraculously, no one I know first-hand was shot, but I have a close, almost brother, friend who skipped his German class that day. Every person in the classroom was shot, his professor and 3 of his friends were killed. He's still dealing with a lot of survivor's guilt from that.
Ugh it deleted my post!! Harumph. Attempt number two:
For me personally, I wish I could forget all the horrible experiences with my ex boyfriends. I googled a picture and this popped up which made me laugh:
Also - All of my grandma's "lost" days due to Alzheimer's:

This isn't me, but this is pretty much what I looked like when I got out of the hospital coming up on 3 years now. After some strange symptoms for about a week, my health declined in a matter of hours.. I spent several hours in the ER undergoing many tests, then was admitted for emergency surgery and evaluation when they found necrotic lymph nodes. Originally they thought I had some form of cancer but after several days of waiting for results after the surgery (which caused the most severe pain I have ever felt in my life) it was determined I had an infection, that had they not done the surgery when they did and removed the infected tissue, I very well would not have made it. This is a picture of a picc line IV, which is a semi-permanent IV line that allows the patient to go home and receive home health care instead of staying in the hospital. While it was a huge example of God's healing in my life, I would much rather forget it because it was so physically painful (with an additional 2 months recovery) and some external circumstances around it I'd much rather forget it ever happened.
