"The army makes a man hard sometimes.  I remember a young girl no more than ten who gave me a glass of buttermilk just outside of Chancellorsville.  I still remember that.  I guess that's all my life is.  Some pictures fading out behind me, and there's not much before me." From the back of Jacob's Way by Gilbert Morris.  I have no idea what the quote means I haven't read the book yet, but I don't like memories fading out behind, it certainly makes things harder.  To learn more about Monday Musings click here.

Thank you for participating! I definitely know what you mean. My mother recounts things to me sometimes starting with "Do you remember... " when I answer know she insists I do and gives me more details. I rarely recall no matter how many more details she gives me, it's just gone. I don't mind forgetting. So long as I don't lose the important things.

I should read before I post! When I answer "No" that should have read.
