"Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future"
-Lewis B. Smedes
*sometimes father's day is hard for me...and i often debate even talking about it anymore...but every now and then i just have to admit to how i feel...and then move on.

i love this quote because it acknowledges that a healed memory is not always a deleted memory--and that we can change the way we remember--how empowering!?!?
it feels better to look toward the future and treat it like it's a blank canvas--- ready to be painted with everything that is hopeful.
