Remembering For some reason this year has been a year of remembering poignant things. I've been thinking alot about my dad who I miss very much, my aunt (his sister) who is very dear to me but has been gone nearly three years now, and memories of significant dates in my marriage relationship have been stumbling me too. For instance, today is the date of our first date .. 28 years ago. (Lord, am I OLD!) What would've been our 24 anniversary last month really got to me. Then today happens to be a Sunday where in my church, the discussion was about love and marriage and true partnership that makes it last. The funny thing is what all that made me think of was the hope that I went into marriage with. And the story that was told of a couple who had been married some sixty years and our preacher had felt privileged to be in their presence as he witnessed the unfailing compassion and care as the husband died. It warmed my heart to the core to hear such a story .. to know that this level of committment and care is possible and existing. I also think that it is a sign that the notion of remarriage, as spooky as it is for me, isn't something I should be shoo'ing away. Maybe I should be looking at the possibility of relationship more seriously. Maybe at the core of it, these remembrances are here to remind me of good people and good events so that I don't cut them out of my life in order to protect my heart. It's a little twisted logic, but as bittersweet as these memories are, they are mostly sweet. What do you do with memories of the past that make you twinge with recognition and fondness? Do you think it's a message? Or is it just a memmory and nothing more?

It really doesn't matter which of these it is, they are all heartwarming and something to take out and "play with" and enjoy!  Ann
