Cicadas and Memories by V-Ann Davis (latest ebook reader .TXT) 📖

days. Listening to those who are your whole life and world right now, those you know will be gone far too soon. Spreading wings and flying away to lives of their own. Listening to the jokes, the laughs, the squabbles. Trying to store them in your mind for later memory browsing...Hoping that each day will be kept alive forever there.

Those days pull you into them, and push you away because of the knowledge they will be gone too soon.

Looking around at the days business to be tended to, the chores, the jobs. Knowing that each day will be the same, yet be different in so many
ways. Knowing that each year more and more family will be gone, and more empty space and memories will replace them.

Those days you Know there is no stopping time. But there is beauty in knowing your days are also someone else's memories.

Finally the day ends, the darkness settles in , the busyness begins to slow. As I go from room to room to tuck in, to say good nights , to visit one last time- I wonder . Has this day been a good one, a memory to smile at later in life ? I wonder if this has been on of those days or just another day . And I hope it has been for others as it has been for me.
