The holes in our old memories. Does it frustrate you?

A few years back I had terrible brain swelling due to an aneurysm. The had to remove a bit and, when they did so, they removed some memories. I am missing my junior high years, a lot of high school(I looked at the high school yearbook and didn’t recognize names or faces), and I can’t even remember a single thing about the house I grew up in. Even today someone will come up to me as if we are close acquaintances…and it is if they are a complete stranger to me. It isn’t too hard not to dwell on the years I can’t recall, but every time a close stranger comes up to me it is a harsh reminder of what I have lost and can never regain.

I’m the same, but I never had an aneurysm. Cheer up, maybe it would have happened anyway.
