Memories

Somebody once asked me what the most valuable things that I

owned were.
I thought about that for a long time.
Then I realized that most of the things that I had could be
replaced.
What I would not be able to replace were the photographs that
I had of my friends and family.
Photographs are memories that are captured on film.
Some of the photographs are of people who are no longer with
us.
I would hate to lose them.
Memories are precious.
They are all we have sometimes to link us to days gone by.
I remember the good times.
I try to relive them in my mind sometimes.
I remember the sad times.
Some of the sad memories are painful, but they are all a part
of my life, and I don’t want
to lose any of my memories.
People come into our lives and people leave our lives, but
most people leave a memory for us.
I have lots of memories, and when I look at my photographs,
the memories come flooding back into my brain.
I remember what people were like when they were younger.
I remember vacations that I took.
I remember days that seemed ordinary at the time, but you
never get to relive even the ordinary days.
Memories are so precious.
Cherish your memories, and keep them in a place close to
your heart.
