OUR MEMORIES ARE A LITTLE FAULTY (AT BEST). What if you don’t exactly remember a few of the details? Was it Wednesday or Friday? Was I eight or nine years old? Was his name Joe or John? Did I receive the care package from Mom before or after I filed for divorce? This is a time to make a choice about what is most likely true. If this detail is not factually correct, will it make a difference to the essential truth of your story?
