What do you remember most about them?

[MysteriousRomantic]

This thread is for people to post what the remember most about current or past loves, people that made an impact on their lives or to pay a tribute to those that really made your life special.






His was my Jr High Band director. He was awesome as a teacher and a musician. He gave me the dream and drive to be one of the best french horn players in north eastern Ohio.



And to that special someone. Your bright eyes when you were happy. They touched my soul deeper then anything ever has.

Sometimes when the sun shone on his hair, it was a riot of colour. Gold and red and russet, all the hues of falling leaves.

I remember when he smiled, his eyes crinkled at the corners and that's not so unusual but he had beautiful eyes, you see, and when they crinkled just so I knew he was happy, and then I was. It was really that simple.

He had a way of grabbing my heart and sometimes it was good and sometimes it hurt so bad, but whichever way he grabbed it, I knew he had it.

Some people really do break the mould. Some people can't be replaced and that is what I remember most.

thank you for responding on my thread.

I had a pastor and his wife when I was growing up. He had most of the Old Testament memorized. He had so much love to give everyone in the church. Even at 90 years old he remembered everyones face and name.





The softness of her voice and the the sounds of her laughter will always be remembered in my head and my heart. I will die some day remembering that about her.

I was 29 and it was the first time a man truly treated me like a lady.

I have an Aunt that was the first person to make me truly feel what it's like to be loved. I was thirteen when she showed me that I mattered. (NO it isn't sexual)


In college I had a professor that taught me that I could be good at something worthwhile....writing. We also loved each other briefly but greatly. I miss her still.


A few years ago I dated a women that made me feel like a man without really trying. She loved my maleness. She's the only woman that has ever done that.
Sadly she died a few years later.

I think you've really hit at the heart of the thread-the people who you will remember for many reasons.

I will always remember my former boss. He taught me a lot about compassion for those less fortunate than others.

I learned that sometimes we can reach out to a stranger and offer a simple hello and a smile that can reduce that stranger to tears because they've struggled for so long and were finally offered encouragement in a place they least expected to receive it.

I had a woman many moons ago enter my life to show me the meaning of love and I have had few to who came close to the meaning and a few who weren't even in the ball park.

Song..taught me love was giving not of themselves sexually but of the spirit of which I would return to her many times over, but she would find way to top what ever I did for her. We would make trips she would plan out to show me great places where I could paint. Even today I think of her and what she gave to me as to what love is. Sadly , I could never take her out of her situation in life she was trapped. What she did to me on my last day in Korea was to stick with me for the rest of my life....When I first met her she was siting in a friends bar crying and my friend asked me to talk to her which I did her B/F left her taking everything with him without ever saying Good bye to her...so I talked to her about a rose and how beautiful it is and yet even in its beauty there are thorns that come with it ..like life and she understood what I was saying to her and I soon got her to even smile...I never told her at the time that I use to run down the village road just to catch a glance of her as she cleaned her carpets in the morning..well...The day I was leaving Camp Howze , I was the only one on the bus leaving that morning and as we drove through the village I looked hard but didn't see her anywhere. As the bus cleared the village he said I have something for you it was given to me be a nice lady for you. It was a long slinder box...when I opened I broke down crying for in the box was a Rose with all the horns removed and a single strand of long black hair tied around it in a bow. When I got to Va. I ran to the ocean and tossed it in..thinking to myself that from that point on she would be where ever I was…and a wish to all lovers who walked the beaches that they too would find their love.

There were others that entered my life but not like Song did and I wish her always many blessings.
I think everyone has that person or persons that enter their lives that enhances their well being and shows them the meaning of love.

I want to thank you for your post here. I heard a song on the radio the other day where a man helps a woman with a flat tire and he takes no money from her. Tells the woman to pass on the love and not let it die. She thern stops at a restaurant were the waitrsss is pregnant. Leaves a 100.00 bill and tell her to keep the change but to pass on the love and not let it die. The waittress's husband was the man that fixed her flat tired.
I thought it was great as it truly shows that love and compassion for your fellow man does and will come full circle.

There are some that stick out so very plainly in your memory. At the risk of some form of litigation -- here's one without detail:

Kris Comstock -- the first truly adult relationship I ever had. We made no pretense about our interest in one another -- we just liked the sex. Our incidental companionship was friendly, pleasant, entertaining -- but the real issue is what we liked to do to and with one another. I learned a lot. And I toast her specifically often as a result. Other relationships involved feelings, confused feelings, false feelings or even amazingly deep feelings. Without that first Adult relationship I never would have been able to tell the difference.

Well all,

Yesterday I laid my father to eternal rest. Off all the people who influenced my life, he was the largest. I found out that he was a decorated world war two veteran that was awarded the bronze star. I also found out he toured two Nazi concentration camps after they were liberated. What a letter he wrote a friend of his back here in the states,

Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will always love you and honor you. I will see you in time

She has an amazing smile. I miss it horribly. She has a beautiful laugh. I miss it greatly. She lights up any room she walks into with just her presence. I miss it terribly.

He was a tall, handsome, blue eyed German that I fell head over heels in love with, without even knowing why. I guess that's how it's supposed to be, but I look back and wonder how a feeling so close to magic can just fade away and be replaced by something surprisingly better...for someone else.
