The Reminders

by Val Emmich

Maybe the trick, when I’m finally ready, is to quit treating these reminders like treacherous chasms to leap over. And to one day, maybe, see them as good reasons to stop and celebrate.

“It’s too painful to remember”; “It’s even more painful to forget”;

I wish there was a way to know when you were seeing someone for the last time so you could pay extra-close attention to that person when it was happening.
