Or maybe it\u2019s the way you catch a glimpse of your dad\u2019s handwriting on an old birthday card and for a moment, your heart forgets he\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"1107\">Remembering loved ones is part of being human.

Our loved ones leave imprints, not only in our minds but in our energy, our dreams, our habits.
