Why The Long and Tender Memory

 My wife asked me to blog about why her bond with her dog (Chipper) that died 30 years ago is as strong today as it was then.

It is a great question. My initial response is that a strong, warm relationship with any person or pet has so many warm and wonderful connotations attached to it that the fond memory of the departed loved one or pet remain fresh in one's memory as if the connection was made just yesterday.

There may be other reasons for the graphic retention of the bond felt, but it could be that there was a meeting of the souls, not just the meeting of the minds. Where souls touch each other, that spiritual affiliation is more linked to the eternal, so the memory of it could even be everlasting.
