Synopsis

There will always be secrets. There have always been secrets. Sometimes the secrets are there because our knowing minds just don’t want to remember. Sometimes we don’t want to go there –period. Some of my life has been like that but I have been blessed with an amazing memory from age two and a half forward with very rare gaps. I constantly hear “I wish I had your memory.” Would life be easier if I didn’t remember? Maybe but it wouldn’t come near the rich to overflowing life I’ve had.
