When it was almost Valentine's Day nearly a decade ago, my ex-guy brought me a dozen roses. I loved the sweet gesture. I had the roses dried. They remained in a nice vase, on my desk, ever since.
A few days ago, I threw them away. It was time. It felt good.
I never got fresh flowers from him. It was a one-time deal. I suppose that's why I kept the roses for so long. I wanted to hold on to that special time.
I decided to let that special time go. The memories are fond, but they need to stay that way.

Fond memories of pancakes and breakfasts
On Friday, we had a farewell lunch for a couple of folks on our software development team. They are leaving the company next week.
I have got to know them well over the years. They are wonderful people and hope that they enjoy their new positions.
We went to a diner roughly fifteen minutes from work. It felt familiar to me.
I realized that a few years ago, my guy and I stayed at a hotel close by. The following day, we headed to this eatery for breakfast. Since we had last been to this place, it has had a complete makeover.
When we ate there, I had ordered a pancake special. I remember not being able to finish eating everything because the portions were huge. The pancakes didn't taste that great.
On Friday, I ordered the French toast special. It was yummy.
It was nice being back here. I thought about my guy, cherishing all fond memories that we have had and continue making.

TV remote and memories of movie-watching
One of the many fond memories from time spent with my guy the other week was watching movies in bed. Instinctually, he would head over to the microwave oven and pop popcorn for us. We both love popcorn.
He watches more movies than I do. He doesn't mind watching movies that he loves again and again. Neither do I.
At one point, he wanted me to have the TV remote. He put it on my tummy. I was propped up against a pillow and was lying at an angle. The remote slid down my tummy to my crotch.

"Hey, I'm you, sweetie," I said, picking the remote up and having it stand erect from my crotch.It's a fun memory to have.
"You're funny," he said.
