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.
