“We may not stay quick,
If we are weak or sage,
but a lot can squeak
As we start to age.”

“Ask two people to paint an apple, and you'll get two different-looking fruits. The core parts will probably be the same: the color, the shape, the stem. But the details, and the intention behind them—that's where the differences will be.
Ask two people to preserve a memory, and the same thing happens. That's because memory is a workable thing, kind of like art. You can mold it and shape it, build it up or beat it down. The important bits will stay the same, but the details are going to change depending on who is doing the remembering, or when, or why.
So how do you accurately and honestly preserve a memory?
Well, you can't. But you can try.
….
You can't preserve a memory, I think again as I walk away.
All you can do is hold each other tight while the moment lasts and then know when it's time to let go.”
