You took the time and the energy to write about something so mundane, yet your style of writing made the reading interested in the story.

Some can remember things from a very early age. My memory starts at the age of four, my first birthday party. Your poem is very well written. Good luck in your contest.

Comment from Brett Matthew West
Well written. Easy to follow storyline. Descriptive language held reader's attention throughout. And, I agree a personal memoir is full of memories. Write on.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
What a touching little story, Ulla, about the precious pair of boots.
a few things you might care to look at:
I am born back
I WAS born back
spend [my] (THE) first couple of years of my life. - change to "the"
To this day I got those small boots
To this day I STILL HAVE those small boots
Not only are they cute but one of my dearest memoirs
HERE - The boots themselves are not really memoirs - but possessions - perhaps my most treasure possessions

Hi there,
What was it that suddenly make me think of it - needs question mark
I enjoyed this piece but it was a little unstructured and at times slipped in tenses I am rather than I was for example.
Good luck in the contest

O good memoir or memory as I would prefer to call it. But very clouded with waffle and the long introduction damped my desire to complete reading it.
But as I said it was a good memory and you need these to keep you grounded and to a part of of a family,
