Had a nice time in Ireland, just visiting family, being with friends I hardly ever see now, walking around places that mean little to others but are significant to me and help conjur up memories of times past and people long gone - sadly.
My Father's shop is still there, but only the ghosts of those I remember working there remain. He's gone over 20 years now, and my Grandparent's house that 'Pa' built in the early 1920's and they moved into after marrying, still stands. They have departed an even longer time ago, yet I feel myself welling up even as I type this.
Inanimate objects that we associate with someone else (like my Dad's tie or my Grandparent's house), allows us to focus and bring to life those people and happy memories that mean so much to us. The memory of them only 'hurts' so-soooo much, 'because' they are so memorable and special to us. Special people, those that you love, never really leave you. They always dwell within you.
Right...the next post will be a less reflective and a happier one - promise.
