There are a lot of things I'm sad about in my life. You don't get to go through the kind of medical trauma I've been through and come out unscathed on the other side.

But one thing I'm really bitter about is that I can't remember my wedding anymore. The pernicious anemia took it from me and wiped my brain clean. Except it's not clean, not really. I remember it in patches. Like red wine stains on a white rug that have never quite lifted out no matter how hard you try.

I look at the pictures on my bookcase, and they feel like remembering a story someone else has told me. There's a young woman in a white dress wearing my face, and she looks happy. I'm happy for her. But you can see the strain around her eyes, too. The pain she's hiding because no one with authority believes her when she says her body doesn't feel right. That something is Wrong.

They won't believe her for another decade. They won't believe her until it's almost too late, and it's that lateness that will rob her of her memories and turn them into a wavering rainbow suspended in the fine haze of watery sunlight that occasionally surfaces through the blanks.

There's one memory that's real, though. Solid. It's not my vows. It's not my father walking me down the aisle. (Though those are there, just hazy and dream-like). It's our first dance.

It's the lights dimming around the room as the staff cleared the floor, causing the fishbowls full of white roses and LED lights on the tables to wobble like pools of moonlight against dark paneled walls.

It's the band inviting us out onto the floor and us giggling because we know what's coming next, and no one else does. It's the twang of a banjo reverberating around the room through the speakers, followed by the dulcet tones of Kermit the Frog wondering why there are so many songs about rainbows.

It's us waltzing around the enclosed circle of light, singing to each other out of tune and grinning like idiots as everyone around us starts to laugh.

It's everyone joining in on the song because it's the Muppets, and everyone knows the words. It's 100+ people singing the Rainbow Connection, some laughing, some a bit tearful, because it's bringing back memories. Because it's making a new one.

It's looking up at my new husband through the brain fog and all the pain in my body and thinking, "I want to remember this moment forever."

I don't know what entity was out there listening to me at that moment and chose to grant that wish. I don't know why this is the one memory that stuck while everything else in my brain got decimated into scattered, fragmented snapshots. But I'm so, so thankful it is.

Though, I could have done without it randomly coming on my YouTube music out of nowhere to hit me in the emotions like a brick to the back of the head. Jesus Christ.

Helped my lil' brother paint this for school

I'm glad he chose this one and included the Kirby on it. I wish I could keep it, but it'll be displayed in school. But I guess that's what art is about.

We give a little bit of our hearts so other people can have happy memories.

Bradley is eight the first time his mom buys him a Hawaiian shirt and it's the end of it. By the time he's sixteen uncle Tom and uncle Pete have to buy another closet just for them because they don't leave space for any other type of clothes. It takes them three an entire afternoon to assemble the whole thing and at the end Bradley is tired and his stomach hurts for how much he laughed.

At thirty eight and still wearing awful shirts with even worst pattern Bradley, now Rooster, is going to explain to Maverick that it never really was about the shirts but more the memories they carry. Carole taking him to shopping, the icecream after his first shirt and the two hours long drive where she talked about his dad laughing and not crying for the first time, the time uncle Tom took him to buy a new one after a particularly good essay and proceeded to have a serious discussion about pattern with him and a clearly stoned clerk, when he was wearing his uniform and everyone was looking at him like an alien. He took me to the movies after! We ate so much pop corn I haven't touched another one since then! To not forget all the time Maverick himself took him to buy new ones, all the things they did together while they were trying to find the most perfectly fine patterns or the one year long bet to see whom of them would have found the worst hawaiian shirt ever made in the history of hawaiian shirts. And he says with a lower voice, there's a particular one I'm going to wear the day me and Jake are going to figure it out. I wore that for out first date and I'm going to wear it for our second first date.
