Those core memories that you have… they are real.

Birthdays all together.

Singing in the kitchen.

Making dinner together.

Laughing until you fall off the chair.

Telling jokes and finishing each other’s sentences.

Driving everywhere. Full stop…vacations, trips to see grandparents – whether around the corner or across the country – keep going.

It was – indeed – a long, long time ago – and only just yesterday.

Keep those core memories, deep in your mind and your heart. That is where you should hold them and bring them out whenever you need to smile.
