Frozen in memory forever

One could easily say that many of us freeze things in memory forever but my frozen memories have a bit of a twist to them. It goes something like this. All of the memories that I collected and stored in my memory back when I had enough vision are now stored forever, despite knowing that my memories will now be forever out of date with reality. Please allow me to explain a bit more clearly.

Our features change with time and facial looks also change with time. The memories of nieces and nephews when they were younger have all changed since my last visual sighting of them. They are older now and some of them have grown from preteen years into teenagers and beyond. True it is that many faces remain a semblance and are a mature version of what they were as younger ones, but my memories of what they looked like at the time are frozen forever.

Memories of hockey games are frozen forever. Memories of my favorite ice skating figure skaters are also frozen forever and memories of strolls through the malls and walks through the parks are also frozen forever. Some memories will no doubt be like history in that memories of the past are history but when it comes to changing features and facial looks, that's a bit different.

I hope that I am not confusing anyone with this but I am really trying hard to explain myself. Maybe it is something like this: I remember Marcus as a preteen and Faith as a toddler and now that they are both older, my memory of them remains the same.
