There are many definitions for dates. I am going to talk about the kind on a calender. Speaking of calender and dates, its been such a long time since I have blogged. So many days have passed, but I am glad to be back here! :-)
[As an aside, I remember my cousin saying, "why are person A and person B doing the thing you find on a calendar?" In other words why are they 'date'ing!]
Ok now getting to my post. The recent Mangalore plane crash, made me think about how those related to the victims are going to handle the calamity. There is no easy way to handle losing someone. Time heals but the wounds are always there. They just get smaller as time passes by, but that doesn't mean it stops hurting.
One of the major reason behind the hurt becoming as good as fresh again is dates; birthdays, anniversaries etc. But what is a date but mere numbers written in various places. If there was no such thing as dates all that people would be able to remember are the memories. Now this is what really counts, the memories.
Living each day for the day really helps. This way all you take from everyday is the memory and not timestamps. If for example someone passed away on a certain day, remember not the day they passed away. Remember the days you spent with them. The days that brought a smile to your face and theirs.
Even birthdays are just like any other ordinary day, what is important is that a new life was brought into this earth. If that life is one of a good person then it should be celebrated everyday, not just on birthdays.
In good situations it is always nice to trigger the memory with the dates. But it is important to remember that the date doesn't hold value for the memory. Smile and always remember the pleasant memories. They will take you far in life. Even a fleeting moment of happiness, can be one that holds value forever with a memory! :-)

Well thts a good idea..
Welcome back
Dates & memories, each needs the other but as you rightly said ,memories perhaps outlive the dates,
for dates merely remain as numbers
