Yeah. It's one of those things where it's both really happy and really sad to think about because at least you get the time, but then you remember it can't be permanent. But at least this one's real.

And I think being here, at least, has taught me how to try to focus on the good things instead of dwelling on the part where it's gone. There's more to your memory than being someone who left. So that's what I should be remembering, right?
