What would we be without our memories? The different events that take place in our lives make us unique. Without them we would all think the same, never forming our own personal opinions. It seems the quirkiest and most unusual memories are often the ones that stay with us, as well as some of the painful ones. A few years ago my grandmother was diagnosed with early signs of Alzheimer’s. She asks me the same questions continuously, every time I visit, forgetting the answers. This makes me realize how precious even the simplest memories are. Some of my most vivid memories help explain who I am.
