When you remember me, it
means that you have carried
something of who I am with you,
that I have left some mark of
who I am on who you are. It
means that you can summon me
back to your mind even though
countless years and miles may
stand between us. It means that
if we meet again, you will know
me. It means that even after I
die, you can still see my face
and hear my voice and speak to
me in your heart.
