30 Days of Gratitude - Day 3

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
-Beatles

Gratitude, Day 3

Is there anything more precious than remembering those we love? Yesterday as a part of the #dayofthedead, I brought out my favorite flannel. This one was worn by my brother William over 30 years ago before we lost him. It makes me feel close to him in a very real way. So, today I'm grateful for the souvenirs. The things we hold onto to help us remember those who went on ahead us.

Do you have special mementos?
