As I read this poem moments ago, my heart was touched especially by the second half: “But we can know that nothing that is loved is ever lost, and no one who has ever touched a heart can really pass away, because some beauty lingers on in each memory of which they’ve been a part!” (Ellen Brenneman) My mind immediately flew to those I’ve loved and lost and how, in a split second, I can bring back a memory and feel my heart impacted again. How about you? What are the “memories” you visit which touch your heart? Even in absentia, those we love have the ability to encourage us through the gift of memory.
