Something that a lot of people have
trouble with is being afraid their loved one will be forgotten. This is something I not only have dealt with
personally but also have had the opportunity to hear other people with the same
worries.
The definition in the dictionary of
forgotten is this; unremembered, out of mind, past recollection, beyond/past
recall, consigned to oblivion.
In my mind they will never be forgotten,
because according to the definition you would have to stop thinking about them,
and keep them far away from your thoughts; and let’s be honest, that is never
going to happen. It has been four years
since my dad’s passing and there isn't one day that he doesn't cross my mind in
one form or another.
I think the word “forgotten” is too
strong of word to be used when dealing with this. Our minds are very complex things and to
completely forget a great loss is a very difficult thing to do whether you want
to or not. There are far too many things
in this world that remind us of them in some way. It could be the littlest of things like just
hearing a song, or an expression they used to say. Or it could be as big as hearing their name,
or seeing a picture. Just keep in mind
you will not forget them. If that person
was of any importance to you in your life they will always be with you.

Your blogs man.. they are just not easy to read. Not because you aren't good at writing, but the dang near raw emotion you put into them. Moving. Very moving.
