I know that memories aren't always totally reliable, but I am very grateful for the ones I have. Even though some things fade with time, it's so wonderful to be able to look back at my life and think about my favorite memories.
I really love my Grandma Nora. She died when I was 14, and oh how I still miss her! She had a great impact on my life, and I am so glad that I have memories of her and that I can still feel close to her even though I haven't seen her for over 24 years.
I'm grateful that I remember so many wonderful times in my life, and I am even grateful that I can remember the not so great times, because remembering those times helps me to appreciate what I have now even more.
I hope that I can give my family great memories in spite of how often I mess up as a parent and spouse.
I am grateful that I have memories of a Grandpa who I know loves me, even though he might not remember who I am anymore.
I'm grateful for the memories of meeting and dating D, and the beginning of our marriage and all the years that have passed since then. I'm so glad to be able to remember my children's births and baby years, and to have been able to see them grow up right in front of me.
Memories are a wonderful thing!

Memories are a beautiful blessing - especially during the harder times in our lives but they bring such happiness all year round too.
We are so fortunate to be able to remember these things, aren't we. I worry about losing my memory, but then I realize I just need to enjoy them as long as I have them ; )
