As Time Goes By...

            Sam asked me if I have written something about them… I honestly answered not yet..  Her query made me realize how time passes swiftly.  I really wanted to compose some  lines about them and as I sit down  in front of the computer I scanned my  cerebrum for memories.

To my surprise,  what crossed the threshold of my mind are their smiles and hardly some…. I  remember that I gave  Patrick a name which I fail to recall what…that I got angry with them  for not making the bottle garden which I was  so exited to demonstrate to them….lost count of how many were exempted from a quiz because it was their  birthday when we had one.. .. Mark wished our subject was akin to his favorite Mathematics… it was Sam who gave me a small lavender pouch with golden hearts which I keep until now..  and the names Earl, Jazzy, Elgen, Jason C, Heinrich, Clarissa, Delna, Adrian, Jessa, Gabriel, Vincent, Jason S., Harry, Princess, Matet, Ysabela, Roielou, Loraine, Rohanni, Eva, Keanchy, Ruby, Karina, Catherine, Ian, Karen,   even Ira and Louise who transferred  and of course Jerald, thank you for making me a winning coach through your hardwork and diligence.

If I failed to mention others, it doesn't mean I cared less for them. It's just that I easily forget names.. I promise to edit this post next time..

Getting older is inevitable and I have to face one of my greatest fears… not able to remember meaningful and happy memoirs of my life.  I'm hopeful to inherit my father's  excellent brain power.  Until his last days he remembers taking his medication on time and prompts us of tasks we forget.

I do exercise my brain to remember names.  It sometimes take weeks for me to recall one… It is a reality that neurons degenerate with age.  and forgetfulness is certain.  We can only wish that though we forget names, places and events, there will always be people who will bring to mind fond memories of the past that will linger and never to be forgotten…. 

As promised I want to add names and names I can recall. Kathleen who opened this page and did not tell me that she is not in the list. Shiryl, Lei, Gayle, Loren, Kimberly, Bianca, Girlyn. 
I'll add to this list next time.....
