If It were only yesterday

I remember as if it were yesterday

My Nan always used to say that phrase “I remember as if were yesterday.” She used to say that whenever something triggers an old memory and every times she says it she tells me her stories and where they took place. My Nan loved that saying, she would say it while looking out into the meadow. Sometimes she would only say it in her sleep but not anymore. My Nan who always said that has passed, but on her gravestone says “I remember as if it were yesterday”.
