Memory
Never underestimate the power of a memory
How you felt on that first day of school…
The trepidation, the butterflies, the hope.
When you had your first kiss….
The girl…..what age you were….the location.
When you got into trouble for doing something silly…..
The shame, the disappointment on your parents faces….the embarrassment….but also the love your parents.
The smiles on your grandparents faces…an image no photograph could replace.
Some fade over time and others thrive, never to be forgotten
We drown in the sea of bad memories, but we marvel in the stratosphere of the good ones…..
Especially when the glow of the sun shines upon us…..
Memories of loved ones that will never diminish ….
They make us who we are….without them we would be lost in the forest, unable to find a way out…stuck going round in circles.
The Greatest of all human inventions - The photograph
Provides the knowledge that we didn't just imagine it….did we??
Memories are unique to every individual, as some remember better than others.
Memories are important
Memories are everywhere
Memories are everything……
Memories are everyone
