Can you ever forget someone’s unexpected departure? And that too when that person is very close to your heart?

Parting with a loved one is very painful when they die. The person with whom you have spent countless best moments, with whom you have grown up, with whom you have shared your happy and sad memories, with whom you have traveled to many places, caused so much mischief, learned so many things from each other, and more! How can you forget all this?

Forgetting is not easy at all. Wherever we go, whatever we do, in every conversation, in everything we experience, while watching an old show or listening to music, old memories are brought back and tears fill the eyes!

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. — Helen Keller

Sometimes dreams give you the feeling of being with someone. While dreaming, it seems that the person is really with us, and we begin to perceive the dream as reality. But when we open our eyes, reality is something different. We wish this dream never ends, or that this tragedy that happened is just a dream!

Seasons change, days, months, and years pass, body conditions change, and relationships change, but memories are not forgotten. Often, in happy or sad situations, that person comes alive in the form of memories.

We all know that everyone has to leave this world one day, but we pray to God that no one leaves before their time.
