I know what Robert means. I miss some of my relatives too. I dream about them and can still all but hear my great grandad Dadaw teaching me how to play dominos. I know so much how he thinks and talks, I can almost hear him give advice. It is neat how God gives us memory. Memory helps us retain wisdom, remember what lessons we learned and helps us remember from which God brought us from. There is nothing mystical or spiritual here, just one more tool God gives us to help us in life.
