Things Remembered - a message to them

With holidays approaching I know I will remember all the good things.

My children, it has been the privilege of my life to be your mom.

As the the years go on, those moments together may fade. But it's okay. It's okay if you forget me. Because you never really can. You are literally made up of me. I'm in every fiber, every eyelash, and follicle and cell, like the stars and the sky and the sand and the sea. 

I'll always be with you. And you don't need to remember for it to be true, for I will for you.

A memory isn't something you simply have. It's a promise, a vow. Remembering is a search. And, when found again, brings remembered treasures.

Life is a collection of memories. I'm grateful for them all.
