Ever since my pet passed, I’ve had this weird fear of forgetting the little details.

Not the big stuff — I’ll always remember those. But like… the way they looked at me, little habits, random moments that didn’t seem important at the time.

I’ve been going back through photos and trying to hold onto those pieces somehow. Even started writing small notes to go with them.

One thing that’s been unexpectedly comforting is being able to see everything kind of in order — like watching them grow up again over time. It makes it feel less like scattered memories and more like a story.

I don’t know if that’s a normal thing to do.

How do you all deal with this?

Do you keep albums, write things down, or just leave everything as is?
