Have you ever noticed that people we meet seem to stay the exact same age as the last time we saw them? I spoke with a former colleague from 10 years ago. At that time his kids were 13 and 8 years old. It was really strange to hear that the eldest had graduated from college! Seemed so young, but that same 13-year old was now 23. The years just hadn't passed in my mind.
Or - there's the former sweetheart that broke our heart. Years later you bump into the barely recognizable and out of shape body of what was once the old flame. Funny how fast that flame blows out!
Death has ensured the likes of Marilyn Munroe, John F Kennedy Jr, and Princess Diana are Forever young. Elizabeth Taylor was granted a long life, so our last memories are not of the glamourous beauty with violet eyes.
What memories do you want to leave friends and acquaintances with? Thank goodness for laser technology!
