Coach put my dad's initials on the sleeves of our team shirts, so we all could have a memory of him. This meant so much to me because this way I knew my dad saw all my games.

He always told us to carry ourselves with class. Like, every Friday after practice, he would tell us just basically to go home and tell our parents we love them.

Memory is all we are. Moments and feelings, captured in amber, strung on filaments of reason. Take a man’s memories and you take all of him. Chip away a memory at a time and you destroy him as surely as if you hammered nail after nail through his skull.

Most people don't like to think of themselves as nuts, ... It's common to shut off the part of memory that describes illness.

A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory.

This is not what most people think of traditionally when they think of memory loss. It feels like a memory problem, but the cause is different. It feels like you can't remember, but that's because you never really learned the information in the first place.
