Racconti Brevi B2: Memories

Somebody once asked me what the most valuable things that I owned were.

I thought about that for a long time.

Then I realized that most of the things that I had could be replaced.

What I would not be able to replace were the photographs that I had of my friends and family.

Photographs are memories that are captured on film.

Some of the photographs are of people who are no longer with us.

I would hate to lose them.

Memories are precious.

They are all we have sometimes to link us to days gone by.

I remember the good times.

I try to relive them in my mind sometimes.

I remember the sad times.

Some of the sad memories are painful,

but they are all a part of my life,

and I don't want to lose any of my memories.

People come into our lives and people leave our lives,

but most people leave a memory for us.

I have lots of memories, and when I look at my photographs,

the memories come flooding back into my brain.

I remember what people were like when they were younger.

I remember vacations that I took.

I remember days that seemed ordinary at the time,

but you never get to relive even the ordinary days.

Memories are so precious.

Cherish your memories, and keep them in a place close to your heart.
