I had a moment today
Or should I say… another
When I realized you were not here
And you will be gone forever
I never thought there would come a day
When I would not see you again
The only thing I have left of you
Are the memories in my head
I play them back over and over
I go to all the places we have been
I wish so badly we could go back in time
And do it all over again
I can’t be certain I would do things differently
But one thing I know for sure
I would savor each moment we had together
So that my memories become less of a blur
All the memories we made together
In my heart is where they stay
I miss you and I always will
That will never go away

❤️Beautiful, heart felt
The most endearing memories I have of my parents and my in-laws are a few of their photos. Looking at them each morning and greeting them each day puts me in a good mood. Of course, this was not possible in my early grief. I love to see their smiles. Your words reminded me of what I often say to others when they have a loss. "May the fond memories that you shared warm your heart and comfort you today." Thanks Gabby, for reminding us that our memories will "never go away." Be well.
