Stuck in your mind?

This question is too general. I could pretty much tell you all that I remember growing up...In what sense do you mean it?
If you're looking for specific memories that stand out from the crowd:
The effulgent beauty of every lover who has stood naked before me.
The time I saw a voice emerge from a river and move in a fluid arc to my ear and out my mouth as a new song.
The time I saw a tiny speck in the sky across vast acres of prairie snow. Larger and larger in a straight line, a crow flying, until it landed on my knee, looked me in the eye. Posed for a photograph then turned and flew away, back to the distant point from which it emerged.

The first time my daughter sat up by herself.
Walking through a hospital hallway and nurses quickly pushing a gurney with a young girl in grand mal seizure.
The first time I saw my wife.
A moment when my favorite dog ever was looking up at me from the kitchen floor as if pleading. She was dying and I put her down the next day.

Yes, I have. Long story short....many years ago I saw someone levitate. They didn't know I saw them. It was not the magicians trick most of us have seen. Very, very weird.
I was on a bus in Turkey. There was a crowd of people standing beside a boy, not more than 10 or 12 lying in a pool of his own blood. The Turks were standing, smoking and talking. It was then that I really understood that many in this world do not value life the way I do.
