The Fabulous February Challenge!

[Hannah Faoileán]

I'm giving just one week to enter the Fabulous February Challenge (well, it's a shorter month, and I'm a busy person). As the love-month slips by, the challenge is to include the word "cherish" (plural and past tense also acceptable) in your one perfect sentence.

The rules are simple:

• Each entry must be ONE sentence only, as defined by the basic rules of English grammar. We will notice if you squeeze unrelated clauses together and pretend it's a sentence, so please don't do it. Your entry will be disqualified and removed.

• Don’t comment on other people's entries – this makes the thread far less readable. If you’d like to make a comment – or if you have a question – then please do so in the Café Life thread under the “One Perfect Sentence” prefix. I will keep checking the thread to answer any general questions. If you have a question you don't want others to read, please private message me directly.

• You can make as many entries as you want to, but only your entry with the greatest number of votes will win a place (and Litbits).

• IMPORTANT: You MUST make your entry anonymous by ticking the “Posting as Anonymous?” box. Entries that don’t do this will be removed.

Voting will close midnight (BST) Sunday 1st March. Good luck and get writing!

As I tossed the last handful of dirt onto the grave, Dad put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Cherish the memories, son."
