#remember always

Merry Christmas everyone! I leave you with this beautiful rendition of 'Silent Night' from the one and only Dean Martin, with his little partner Jerry assisting.

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.

For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost.

When I'm feeling most ghost-like, it is your remembering me that helps remind me that I actually exist.

When I'm feeling sad, it's my consolation.

When I'm feeling happy, it's part of why I feel that way.

If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone.

If you forget, part of who I am will be gone.

Remembering Dino Crocetti, Dean Martin, Deanie, Dino Martini, Paul, and Bubbe. I wish every single day you were still among us. 78 years was not long enough. I wish there was someway to tell you how much you and your forever partner, Jerry meant to me. RIP, beautiful man.
