When Memories Fade to Nothing

I already have experienced mourning for someone who is still alive, still moving and still breathing...

Losing ones memories of what you used to be seems to be an epilogue of death. You forget your age, where you live,  the people you are close with and acquaintances, and basically all the past events that happened in your life. You are born right directly to your present age unaware that you already have spent some time alive, a "before-life".

It's a tough break and a very hard thing to accept. Watching someone you love who have lost his or her memories would really move you to be compassionate. It's also sad when he or she forgets that you used to know each other and were really close friends.You would miss the friend you used to know and who used to know you too. That friend may be present around you but you still would wish that he or she might get those memories back so that you can reconnect with each other once again. A part of you would think that your friend have died even when he or she is still alive. Your friend has died along with the memories.

What then can you do if the memories can never be brought back? Well, friendship can always be renewed. A real friend is someone who is willing to give up his life for his friend. Start all over again. 

Memories don't last forever. They fade and die. They are just a part of the mortal realm. There is no hope in memories for they are just temporary things.

There is one memory though that would never fade -- the very Word of God. It is eternal. There is hope in clinging to it. Even if the memories of the world go down to the depths of oblivion, the memory in God's mind would never cease to exist.
