"memories are of tremendous importance to all survivors. they keep us going, give us strength, and can be passed on to others who cared about our loved one. but sometimes we lose perspective about what memories are made of. those most prominent times that we recall with pleasure, tenderness, devotion, or any number of emotions, are ones in which some particular word, gesture, or action embedded itself in our memory. as a result, we have carried those times with us ever since.
the most precious of our recollections do not usually cover long periods; they reflect, instead, brief moments we have have selected for one reason or another from the broader segments of time we spent with him. we need not feel deep regret for not having had days or weeks or months to fill our memory bank, when but a few moments can stay with us forever."
