Missed this the first time.
I keep them for all the reasons stated above.
I keep them because I'm an incurable romantic
It renewed my faith in human nature and made me feel young again.
It reminded me of the feeling of falling in love
At the time it was all going on, it put a whole new spring in my step (and a look of terror in the eyes of OH)
It was just so wonderful, sweet, heartbreaking and real.
I keep them most of all because I just couldn't bear to part with them, and because I'm worth it!
