Memory

The first time a memory slides over us like a wave of warmth, we have turned the corner on our grief. When a once painful reminder evokes a gentle laugh, when we recognize the joy of the present in an image from the past, we have arrived at an important moment. Those memories are being transformed, unmistakably, into messages of hope. (Molly Fumia, Safe Passage, Day 154) (Memorial [Decoration] Day) 30 May 2011)
