May 30, 2021: Bobby Russ shared a memory
5 years ago I wrote some pretty ironic stuff. Who would have known that so much would happen in 5 years? If you had told me 5 years ago what would happen, I would have yelled and cussed. I could hear myself saying: "That ain't even funny".
What would I tell my younger self when I was being reflective? Would I tell him to hold on tighter? Would I tell him that time would be cruel? Would I just give a hint that I would later remember... Would I find it ironic that she would like the post?
How many times I raised a glass to one person or another? How many times I couldn't imagine someone being gone from my life? Yet... that's what time has done over and over again... Yet, we still attempt to create new bonds knowing the risks or just being a memory. 5 years ago... I never would have imagined she would be a memory.
There's a question... is it better to love and lost than to never love at all? It's something that people battle with at times. I've looked back over time. Nothing prepared me for the moment that I experienced. Nothing could have. I will forever miss her and she will be a memory that I raise a glass to. Would I want to wipe that experience from my world to avoid the pain her loss caused? Never. To me, the answer is clear...

Ever wonder what happened to people from your past? Memories of raised glasses, laughter... Year by year passes. Feel like an
antique at times.
