I almost forgot to make another note to the future for myself. I really need to stop forgetting these things. Wait... why am I doing this...?

Heya future me! It's been awhile. It's really hard trying to remember to write a memo whenever I find more notes, but I'm trying! I'm trying really hard! So, I hope you can appreciate what I'm doing for you!
So I found 2 more notes. However, I found them in really weird places. One of the notes was in the basement covered in cobwebs, while the other one was hidden inside a... box? I don't remember what it was, but it was pretty big and metallic. It also had a bunch of spikes inside, frankly I don't understand why you would want metal spikes inside a box, but hey..?
Here's the first note!
"It's been a painful three years. I'm having trouble walking, I'm having trouble trying to remember what 1+2 is, I'm forgetting everything that I usually do in my daily routine. I even forgot how to microwave food! How the fuck can you forget to microwave food! I DON'T UNDERSTAND. IT FEELS LIKE I'M SLOWLY LOSING MY MIND AND... and.... I...
I just want to remember...
I don't want to see them suffer...
I don't want to forget...
I don't...
That's why I'm doing this....
For us.
Please...
Try to remember that Mom and Dad were the ones that taught us how to ride a bike.
That wild night with your friend's at your cousin's sleepover party.
That night in your bedroom when you had your first kiss.
That satisfying moment of obtaining a driver license.
That proud feeling of buying your first house.
That joyous moment of having a child.
Your child whose name is Ellie.
Try to remember...
So that our precious memories weren't for nothing..."
