a mutual reason to pull versus a one-sided dying wish

Sometimes, when things end badly, we let the good parts of a relationship slip through the cracks. We let bitterness negate the things that should be remembered; the parts that mattered most. I'm just as guilty of it, if not more so, than anyone reading this now. Keeping that in mind, I'm going to muster up a few choice moments the predated various heartbreaks.

  • the three-page love letter
  • picnics by the turtle pond
  • all of those snow cones
  • dancing in El Paso
  • seeing a lightning storm from a cliff face
  • watching Hamlette howl and eat at the same time
  • the night we decided to wear matching outfits
  • 8 hour phone calls
  • camping in Big Bend
  • driving to North Carolina on about 8 hour's notice
  • freckles vs. moles
  • foosball
I could go on, but it wouldn't make sense to anyone reading. Letting hurt feelings taint your memories is the worst thing you can do for yourself.

There are "more" to be had.
