Remember

Have you ever lost someone? Someone important, so important that continuing your life without them seemed so impossible at the time? You leave their things untouched, as if somehow it'll will bring them back. You revive all the memories you spent with them just to keep their picture fresh in your mind. I've always wondered how we push through the pain? Do we attempt to forget, or do we remember them everyday just to carry on? Once you begin to enter the secure yet occupied closets and bedrooms, life unfolds in front of you. You realize it's okay to carry on, it's okay to feel what you feel, and it's okay to clean out those closets. But most of all you discover it's okay to remember.
