What’s your favorite candy?
Memory is a blessing. We can live in and relive our favorite things. And the things we loved that maybe are now lost.
I mentioned that moment while I stood by a V’Day display of chocolates and realized Burt no longer could appreciate that Hershey bar.
That small realization came with sadness.
Now chocolate bars moved to the loss column.
The little things, the big things (romance, his cognition) just kind of pile on. The bigger things hurt but they don’t surprise. Oh, a big lapse in reasoning or judgment can sneak up on me, but its not unexpected.
It’s unwelcome but you could see it coming.
The little losses, like that Burt no longer misses his watch, carry a pain that feels both petty and profound.
