Sometimes we are not meant to forget someone that we once loved.  We are only human and there is nothing wrong with the way that we choose to deal with our heartache.  You cannot teach a person how to deal with their pain and you cannot tell them what comes after the goodbye.  Everyone's pain is unique.

​

They say that time will heal the wounds but time does not always heal for all of us.  Many times we go back to read the chapters of a story that once existed so that we can remember and reminisce about what could have been if things had not turned out the way they did.

​

We need to know that it is okay to hold someone close to our heart that is not there anymore.  It is okay to miss them and ache for them.  But somewhere in that process we have to find the courage to move on and live our life.  There is nothing wrong with taking pieces of them with us as we journey on through life.  We will always have those memories stored in the boxes of our heart.
