How would you write the sentence?

How would you write the sentence so that it is natural?

As years pass, the memory of my childhood goes further and further. When I was 15, I remembered things I did when I was 8. Today at age 18, the oldest memory I have is that of when I was 12.

Thanks

Hi I would probably write ... - As years pass, the memory of my childhood gets shorter. Apart from that, it's a good description Dave

And I would probably add 'the':

As the years pass, the memory of my childhood gets shorter.

Would it be better to say 'oldest memory' 'earliest memory' or 'furthest memory' please?

I guess that Mister Micawber and Dave must have missed it?

It's a matter of opinion.

Hi

Sorry! I didn't mean to miss anything ...

- As the years pass, you tend to lose your earliest memories

- Your memory of your childhood gets shorter

- Having said that, my oldest memory now is still the same as it ever was (I was about two years old)

Best regards, Dave
