Be glad it happened. Feel fortunate!! Life is full of memories. No, my life wasn't perfect, but I wouldn't change most of it for anything in the world! I've gotten to know some WONDERFUL people, whom I'd never want to trade for anything in the world!!!
Yup, memories are made from moments. Choose which ones you want to remember. I choose to remember the good, learn from the bad but not dwell upon them.
All of life is a learning experience. We live and some of us actually pay attention and learn. I'm a good student. The day I stop learning is the day I die.
Every experiences we have contributes to the person we are today and no matter how difficult it may be at times to move on and leave something or someone behind we should be thankful that we were able to have those experiences, emotions, learning experiences.
How empty our lives would be and how little we would grow if each relationship or opportunity was the only one we experienced in our lives.
It means to enjoy the journey of your life, and look back with happiness at the good times in it, rather than mourn the passing of any of them. It's something I've finally been able to do for a while now regarding my late husband...to not cry because it ended so soon, but to smile because we had that brief, but very happy, time together.
It's the lesson I take forward with me now, knowing it even more now than I did then.

so nice , yes it should be a good memories for us thank you for sharing i love this feeling
Sweet, sweet memories you gave-a me you can't beat the memeories you gave-a me
Take one fresh and tender kiss Add one stolen night of bliss One girl, one boy Some grief, some joy Memories are made of this
Don't forget a small moonbeam Fold in lightly with a dream Your lips and mine Two sips of wine Memories are made of this
Then add the wedding bells One house where lovers dwell Three little kids for flavor Stir carefully through the days See how the flavor stays These are the dreams you will savor
With His blessings from above Serve it generously with love One man, one wife One love through life Memories are made of this Memories are made of this
If it was truly special I believe you must do both. When someone you liked, lusted, and loved disappears from your life you feel terrible and yes cry. We have to go through this stage in order to enjoy the smile because it happened. After time you can look back and it does bring warmth and a smile. Fond memories build our character and creates that mystery we call a soul.

Great quote Owen!
Great explanation, JB!!! I couldn't have said it better, myself! Everything happens for a reason. And how much richer we are for having experienced certain things. It forms us into the people we are.
