It's a very wet Saturday morning here.

這裡是個溼答答的星期六早上。

How are you going?

你好嗎？

Side note, in this moment, I just realized that Rebecca will remember that this day was a wet morning forever.

So, you remember everything in great detail.

What about a memory from when you were just a baby?

那麼小時候的記憶呢？

When I was 12 days old, I was lying down on the fur car seat in my parent's car,

It wasn't until she was 21, when her parents decided to submit her to the university of California to undergo two years of testing.

直到她廿一歲的時候，她的父母決定將她送到加州大學接受兩年的測試。

After this, she was officially identified as having H.S.A.M.

Since memories can come to mind unexpectedly, any time of day, a negative memory like this can make living with H.S.A.M difficult.

Mom was putting me in this itchy satin dress, and I was crying because I didn't like it,

and mom gave me this Minnie Mouse toy, and I couldn't say anything at the time, but her face terrified me.

But on most days H.S.A.M is a gift.

Rebecca can recall happy memories and moments when times get tough.

A good memory that makes me so thankful about having this kind of H.S.A.M memory.
