Memory is an amazing thing, isn't it? One of my patients in Moorpark gave me a book and wrote a note on it that said, "Don't forget to make memories". I thought that was a beautiful idea indeed. We make memories every minute that we are awake but the sad thing i, we do not really recollect all of our memories whenever we want. After such a long time of just thinking about getting back to the blog, tonight i finally did it. and as i was typing the address i thought of the name My Taki and how in a span of under a year my beautiful little 2 year old E who used to say taki to everything that was his now talks about becoming an astronaut and going to the moon - and not just that now he is going there along with his sister who will drive the rocket!! When i try to remember specific things about him just a year ago, it is all foggy. yes, i have beautiful memories of certain events and things he used to say but a general feeling of what he was like has blurred. that is where letters that i have written for him and scrapbooks and pictures come really handy. they help fine tuning these beautiful moments. it is really sad that as the days go by and we make new memories, the old ones get foggier and foggier. so the best thing to do is live each moment to its fullest and enjoy each day, because it sure is not coming back.

On googling Memory i came across this site....pretty cool....
