I didn't remember it until she reminded me.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060441484392165488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-69542977182880542832012-05-30T05:03:39.339-05:002012-05-30T05:03:39.339-05:00I've been talking with my close friends lately...I've been talking with my close friends lately about memories...and I realize that it's important to write things down (as you stated in this post) because they do get blurry or they get mixed up with other things. It happened when my friends and I compared our mutual memories about what had happened in the past...some got mixed up and some others got forgotten (though luckily one or two of us still remember the incidents)...but I think the longer we let them go, the blurry they get (at least the details).Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-31702199532148577062012-05-29T15:53:50.014-05:002012-05-29T15:53:50.014-05:00Amel: It is a strange place in life where memorie...Amel: It is a strange place in life where memories become as important as dreams.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060441484392165488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-38185501534955850692012-05-29T13:46:07.119-05:002012-05-29T13:46:07.119-05:00Ahhhh...so many memories!!!

My Mom still lives there with my bro, wife, and son (my Dad passed away in Jan 2012) and we still have many same neighbours along the years, though their kids have mostly moved away.Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-58495834738326848032012-05-28T17:44:32.706-05:002012-05-28T17:44:32.706-05:00Thanks, Michelle.
