ECHOES WITH MEMORIES 🥺💔😭

THE HOUSE FEELS EMPTIER NOW THOUGH EVERY CORNER IS ALIVE WITH MEMORIES. I WALK PAST THE KITCHEN AND FOR A MOMENT, I CAN ALMOST HEAR MOM HUMMING THAT SOFT TUNE SHE USED TO SING WHILE WHASING THE DISHES. HER VOICE WAS A GENTLE CURRENT, CARRYING WARMTH THROUGH THE ROOM FILLING IT WITH A SENSE OF SAFETY I NEVER REALIZED I TOOK FOR GRANTED. I PAUSED BY THE WINDOW WHERE SUNLIGHT ALWAYS FELL JUST RIGHT CATCHING THE DUST IN GOLDEN THREADS -THE SAME SUNLIGHT THAT ONCE DANCED ACROSS MY BROTHERS MISCHIEVOUS SMILE.BRAVE THE NAME STIL ECHOES IN MY HEART, AND SOMETHIME I SWEAR I HEAR HIS LAUGHTER SKIMMING THE EDGES OF THE WALLS TEASING ME DARING ME TO SMILE THOROUGH THE ACHE I REMEMBER THE NIGHTS MOM WOULD TUCK ME IN WHISPERING STORIES OF HOPE EVEN WHEN HER OWN HEART FELT HEAVY. BRAVE WOULD OFTEN SNEAK IN WHISPERING JOKES TO MAKE US GIGGLE UNTIL TEARS BLURRED OUR EYES. NOW I CARRY THOSE STORIES AND JOKES ALONE TRACING THEM IN A QUIET SPACE OF MY MIND. THE GRIEF IS A CONSTANT SHADOW BUT THE LIVE THEY LEFT BEHIND IS BRIGHTER - A TAPESTRY OF MOMENTS STITCH TO A VERY FABRIC OF WHO I AM. EVERY MEMORIE, PAINFUL AND TENDER REMINDS ME THAT EVEN IN ABSENCE THEIR PRESENCE SHAPE MY EVERY HEART BEAT.
