]]> I was speaking to a widow today and although my heart was breaking for her loss, the conversation really made me think about the memories we have…….are our memories of the real love ?This lady was talking about a person that in truth, I didn’t recognise! I know for instance the marriage was in difficulty and also that the marriage had been “abusive” in many ways. Now I am not saying that they didn’t love each other, I am not saying that he didn’t create some wonderful memories but it made me think how strongly I feel about keeping those memories real…

I hope I remember the good, the bad and the indifferent because our relationship was not perfect. Love isn’t perfect, people are not perfect. However, he was perfect for me. Distorting our memories may help in some way, but are we masking the reality? Wondered what your views were…..
