Memories are so very special, even the bittersweet ones. Just be sure to do everything to keep them with you, because with time they do fade. That is why you should never take anyone for granted. You just never know.
Here is something that I wrote about a very special lady.
Fading memories.
You have been gone for over five years now.
I thought I would always remember your voice, your laugh,
everything about you. I thought they would always be there
for me to just close my eyes and hear you, like you were right
here with me.
Now though, I can not remember what you sounded like. I can
associate a voice with you, but I don't really know if it is
your's or maybe the way I want to remember you.
When you passed away, I thought my whole life was over too.
It was the memories that got me through the hard times.
Now with every passing day, your memory fades a little bit more.
It is almost like I am having to watch you die all over again.
I just miss you so much that it hurts. It feels like someone is
ripping my heart out with each and every faded memory........
