Memories and experience are what make us who we are. Good ones, bad ones and those we really can't categorize all total together to make us unique individuals. I have said on more than one occasion, "if i knew then what I know now." That quote is usually followed by "I would not change a thing." I had a chance to talk with a friend yesterday. We used to talk daily for several hours. Work and life changes have forced us to limit our conversations. When we talked, we referred back to a funny event from our past. It was nice to be able to walk down memory lane. The thing that gets me is that I have so many memories of her, I am constantly reminded of her. Not that I want to get her out of my mind, I'm just reminded of how important she is to me. Here are some examples:
1.) I have to pass by her old apartment complex to visit a mutual friend. I remember all the time I spent there.
2.) She was fond of roses. Every time the roses in my front yard bloom, I think about her. I sometimes send her a pic.
3.) Halloween is coming up. She was always the biggest help when it came to planning and executing our parties.
4.) I am currently working with a young lady who likes the same perfume as my friend. Every time she walks by I close my eyes and imagine my friend standing there, smiling.
5.) Full moon. It's sometimes called the lovers' moon. Every time I see it, I think of times we spent just staring at the moon and talking.
6.) Her old possessions. When my friend moved, she was unable to take everything with her. Last night I wrapped up in an old blanket of hers. Made me miss her holding me.
7.) White tiger. She bought a picture of a white tiger for my because she was aware of my love for big cats. It has a prominent spot in my room so I can always look at it.
