Ignoring?]<\/li>\n<li>Do you think it is valuable to us to remember people who have gone before us?\u00a0 Why?<\/li>\n<li>What impact may forgetting have on us?<\/li>\n<li>What happens when you forget something that happened or someone who was important (or did something important)?<\/li>\n<li>If we want to remember someone or something that happened, what could we do to help us recall more about them?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To prevent these discussions from being purely theoretical and disconnected from daily life, connect the questions to specific people.\u00a0 I will be thinking about and talking with my family about my mom \u2013 what I miss about her being gone, fond memories over different periods of life, and the many ways she shaped our lives.\u00a0 The result?\u00a0 A mixture of gratefulness, sadness, and peace, culminating with an inner smile.<\/p>\n<p>I trust you will have an enjoyable and meaningful Memorial Day.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px;
