After reading "Miracle" by Kim Zorn Caputo I realized how important memory really is. I thought that the article did a good job telling the readers that memory is important and the best way to keep a memory is to have an object that you can look at or touch to bring you back to the time the memory happened. The article says that one of the best ways to ensure that you won't forget a memory is make it into an art piece. Every piece of art comes from a memory whether it was good or bad, or if it was your memory or someone else's. I never really thought much of memory before reading this article and the posts from the other students but now that I have I think it's safe to say I won't take memory for granted and I will always value it.

This image caught my eye the most because when I think of memories I think of happiness. I think that everyone wants to remember the good things and kind of forget about the bad, so when I see this image it reminds me of a memory that nearly everyone would want to remember for their lifetime.
