Can you really forgive and forget?

Does making amends really exist?

I get these daily morning prayers sent to me and it's a way to start my day with my cup of coffee. I wouldn't say I am the most religious person you have met nor a great representation of how God would want me to act (especially my FOUL mouth.. I'm working on it... well I need to!). But I am definitely a true believer and do strive, every once in awhile, to be a good person.

Here is one of the recent Prayer of the Day's I received: "I pray that I may accept the Lord's forgiveness. I pray for the grace to forgive others as God forgives me."

So, as I sit here on November 30th I think to myself does it really exist? I believe it is definitely possible to come to terms, finally be at peace, and move on with your life when it pertains to certain situations, but do you ever really "forgive and forget"? Whether it be infidelity, divorce, abuse, or the ending of a relationship or friendship can you really do both?

Now, I'm a person that thinks a lot (no way!!!) and I don't really know if it's truly possible for me to forget indefinitely. I've been in a few situations, in my day, where I have been able to forgive or at least come to peace and put things behind me, BUT every once in a while something sparks me to think about a particular moment. I may not have the animosity I used to have, but it definitely passes my mind.
