In everyone, the memory of those they love and those that have past, <br /> are alive. However, with the passing of time...do the memories <br />dim and imperceptibility become altered? Does our need, <br /> to desperately hold onto loved ones, remove some of the pain of love and leave but the memories of happier times? <br /> <br />What matters more, 'the way it really was' or <br />'the way we choose to remember?
