Remember when we were young and in love? What a life we had. I could have never imagined in my wildest dreams where we were then and where we have come to this point. 1-17-2013
I want to write all my memories down but sometimes they seem so vast and unimportant. You know we come into this world alone - we really walk through this world alone, even with a life partner - we have our "own" memories - our own regrets - and we die alone.
I never thought that memories could hurt so bad. Why should they? But they do. I guess, for me, it's thinking of all those wonderful memories that grieves my heart so ever badly - that it "hurts". Memories should be wonderful and happy. They were - but they make me sad in the pit of my stomach.
That sounds strange but the older I get and as time flies by faster and faster; will I be missed. Will my children have wonderful memories of us and how we raised them? Will they continue the values we starved to teach them and carry onto our grandchildren? That is really all that matters to me, in the end.
Will they.....remember when?
I can't speak for us all but I know I will! You both did a great job and that job is being passed onto your grand baby.
