Memories: Some polish the bitter to make them sweet. We do this to maintain some semblance of sanity, to peer through the glass of a healthy outlook, perhaps. At some point we are able to just be far enough away from passed-on traits, good and bad, that we can stand them up, walk around them, examine them. Then, ideally, take the good and leave the bad.
That sounds good on paper.
But the truth is we can’t ever really leave the bad behind
We just polish. Polish. Polish. And stare at the shine.
The blur blends. And the whole becomes beautiful.

Interesting way of looking at the situation.
I've done it, still do it, can't seem to help but do it, it makes it easier to remember that way.
I've been missing you James,

Yes, the exact reason we have photo albums. Proof of good memories.
I'll leave you with a proverb:
"...A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet...."
-Proverbs 27:7
