not all memories are meant to be kept
to be cherished like the day you were born
the day you crawled, took first steps
not all memories are meant to be kept
many years later on a dark Spring night
a ride in an ambulance not remembered
emergency surgery as life held on
many years later on a dark Spring night
not all memories are meant to be kept
you held my hand the hours so long
I held back for the comfort it would give
not all memories are meant to be kept

My children were at the hospital during this time and the memories I now have are what they conveyed to me, as did my partner. Thank you to Nathan, Adina and Noah (Misha and Kris were there in Spirit) for giving me the strength to hang on just long enough. Your support and encouragement mean everything.
