I remember the small things. Those fun times planning big events & birthday celebrations. Sitting around the table at holiday meals with family, loved ones & friends. Baseball games, football teams & wrestling matches. Trophy awards, prom nights, graduation, college education & wedding bell bliss. Laughing, crying, singing the blues & praising the Lord! All those memories we held dear to our hearts, because they were with the ones we love. I hold on to these thoughts now, they are more precious to me everyday. I try not to forget. All those things we made, created & bought expressed who we are & what we were. Yet they seem to grow less & less important when I think about what really matters most. Like the first kiss from my sweetheart & the first time I counted my lil’ boys’ fingers & toes. The bond we share with those we love & the moments we make in life are timeless… ageless & unforgettable. Those emotions we feel, when we envision those special pictures in time, capture our thoughts & steal our hearts. That’s what matter most now. We can still remember yesterday. We are alive today to tell our story & share our lives into tomorrow. I will keep this loss, rather than endure the loss of my loved ones. That’s what I have learned to be thankful for, I can still count those 10 fingers & toes.
