Perhaps a seeker of the more perfect can find it in himself to bring one of life's perfections - the truth - to light, even when said truth is complicated, or unwelcome or even ugly. By these actions we truly honor those "we live with and with whom we love and remembering them and the little time we shared together is enough". Maybe that would make the true meaning far less elusive. And in return for the truth, anything less than kindness and friendship would be far from perfect. -ATAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09736724596764794848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691525267872963085.post-28311040282018170352008-10-20T10:28:00.000-07:002008-10-20T10:28:00.000-07:00Zu, you know its not always personal records and b...Zu, you know its not always personal records and backyard gatherings with all your family and friends.

Someday, one day. Bring a few stories along. I'll do the same.<BR/><BR/>-TorinTorin Kooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00282992144129716434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691525267872963085.post-72366313308025058602008-10-16T08:30:00.000-07:002008-10-16T08:30:00.000-07:00This post has made me sad, but you are forgiven.
