Memories: Misty Water-Colored Memories Of The Way We Were
For the past few months I have received an email of my "daily memory updates" on Facebook. Every time the email came in I would quickly delete it because there would be a picture of Peter and me traveling, or with the family. Suddenly I realized I could stop the daily pictures and reminders, which were way too painful. I have lost my partner with whom I shared memories. I want to laugh about funny memories. I want to bring back some old times but I hate to remember. Basically I am trying not to miss Peter so much. I have to make my own memories with my family, especially those amazing grandkids.
I have talked to widows and widowers who all have different views on this subject. Some like to keep the pictures and look at them daily. Some, like myself, put the pictures away until we can face them in a better frame of mind (stop with the puns, Laurie!). I don't know when that will be but I hope it will be soon because he was the most handsome man and what a head of hair! Men, in their 20s, were jealous of Peter's mane.
