It really is all that matters. Looking back at memories with people who are no longer with us what is it you remember? I don't remember things, but I do remember situations, happenings, emotions. With each person there are always 'general' feelings and memories but also specific things.
Does it change how you treat those around you now? For me, yes, mostly. There are exceptions and moments that I just don't have anything left and want to be left alone to regroup. Something that I don't often have a lot of. Alone time. That will change, eventually. In the meantime all I can do is the best I can so those memories are good on both sides...
