I remember when I was a kid every time I watched a horror movie or when ever I got bullied I used to run to you and ask you to hold my hand because I knew that you will never leave . I am not able to carry the weight of all the memories in my heart . You have left me alone to deal with the mess of life when you know that I am not able to walk even a single step without knowing that you are there beside me to pick me up if I fall . I feel so alone . I am very scared dad please hug me just like you used to do . I can't believe you won't be there with me .

Emily was disheartened . She went into Kevin's room to feel his presence . There was a big picture of Emily in his room which clearly showed that he was missing her . She walked around the room relieving the memories of her father . His dad used to capture little moments because he said that memories and dreams are only thing a person truly owns and when you loose either of them you loose who you are . He lived his life to the fullest . He though Emily to treasure the precious gift ' life ' . He changed when Ava came into his life . His whole life was in this room . Emily remembered that he showed her his yearbook and that was the first time Emily realized that she and his dad were so alike . He said that Emily was the best gift he ever got . He said that he will always be there for her but now he was just gone leaving behind his memories . Ava walked in the room ; Ava: " What are you still doing here ? I thought you left . " Emily: " I will leave in a short while , I just wanted to feel his presence for the last time . " Ava: " Well I guess you are done now because it's time for a clean up . " Emily: " What do you mean ? " Ava: " Come on in . " Ava called in two men that were waiting outside the room to be called in . Ava: " You can start packing from the book shelf then you can do the cupboard . " Emily: " Wait . . . . . . . wait . . . . . . . .wait , what is happening here ? Who are they ? " Ava: " They are from a charity house they have come to take Kevin's stuffs with them . " Emily: " What ? . . . . . . . no , who called them ? " Ava: " I did . Isn't it obvious . " Emily: " Why will you do that to dad ? " Ava: " He is dead . He won't be needing his golf stick or his novels or his clothes . So what is the point of keeping them and moreover we could use this room for many other things . You sister wants to set up a gym here . You know to be in good shape . " Emily: " It has barely been an hour and you are getting rid of dad . " Ava: " I am not getting rid of him . I just don't think that there is any point of keeping any of these things . " Emily: " You hated him that's why you are doing this to him . " Ava: " I never hated him but he hated you for sure . So I don't think he will want you here . " Emily: " You are talking about my dad ,. " Ava: " He is . . . . . . . I am sorry he was not your dad . Do you want me to give you that letter ? It must be some where around here . Well excuse me . You can take this TV also we are planning to buy a new one . " Man1: " As you say . " Emily: " No keep back every thing you can't take any of them .
