I have not forgotten everyone, I have been reading your comments, I have just been really busy….thank you for dropping by and leaving your thoughts.

I just turned thirty-two Thursday. I feel the memory loss creeping in and I’ve lost small chunks of my life in memory. Mostly conversations.

An excellent, thoughtful piece. My long term memory remains very good, but my short term memory keeps forgetting where it is.

“my mind holds on to ghost strand memories.”
I really loved this piece! Lately my lack of memory is so frightening and I feel you wrote this straight from my fears
excellent job!

I like the way you build to the jigsaw image. When you finally lay it out, it is clear in my imagination. Although I think the sentence structure here and there gets a little difficult, the writing is lyrical and quite poetic. And of course the message is all too real. You described the moment quite well–that moment when we notice our memories are not quite performing as we hope they will. Nice job.

Yet each day, one more letter, one more word, one more sentiment, slips away into the abyss, unnoticed. It is only when I go back to retrieve the memory that I notice what is missing.

This is sad, but so well written. Really makes me think about my own reactions to memories slipping away, slowly out of my hands.
