In the life of everyone there is a number
of experiences which are not just written
upon the memory, but stamped there with a die;
and in the long years after, they can be
called up in detail, and every emotion that was
stirred by them can be lived through anew…
~Edited excerpt from a quote by
James Weldon Johnson

I will perpetuate Your(God’s) memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise You for ever and ever. Psalm 45: 17 ✝
Same here. Some times they bring smiles and others, tears.

I’ve noticed this in writing my memoir. Some memories are vague, but others feel as fresh as yesterday.

Thanks Patricia! And yes I will always cherish the imprints and memories! My dad died when I was 18 and I still cry about it at times. 😘

He may have left his vessel here, but I am sure he is still with you. When ever you think or talk about a loved one, they say that, that person is there with you giving you a hug. xo

even then I can see that twinkle in your eye, the mischief you can’t wait to get into as you rub those little hands together and say “let’s go dig in the dirt!” 🙂
