2%

It's true what they say about time healing wounds.....with time the pain of losing you lessens a little bit. 
The down side is that along with less pain, the memories start to dim just a little - maybe about 2%, more or less.  The memories aren't quite as sharp, I have to concentrate to remember you walking into the kitchen, arms outstretched saying, 'mama' or sitting next to each other on the couch watching TV, or talking about  a show we've just watched, or reading those college art history books or you telling me the things you want to do with your life. I feel like you're slipping away from me and I am desperately trying to hang on to any part of you I can.  I've already lost so much of you, two percent is more than I'm willing to pay for less pain.  I would rather have the pain.
