"Steemit Challenge s28wk2 : Remembering Through Healing

Source

Tina returned to the old house again, where every wall, every window, every breath has hidden the memory of her mother. Since her mother's death, the atmosphere of this house has changed completely. Every time Tina touched the wall of the house, Every wall seemed to be saying in her mother's tone that Tina, there is nothing to break your heart, I am by your side. In fact, this house had never been like this before when her mother was there. Back then, there was a lot of shouting, calling, many kinds of conversations, the smell of cooking came out. Sometimes there were arguments, quarrels. In a word, there was always joy and noise. But now that atmosphere is no longer there. Now there is only silence, stillness, a heavy pain in the heart.

While walking around the kitchen, Tina saw that the cups in which her mother used to drink tea were completely dry. When Tina climbed onto the roof, she saw her mother's favorite shawl still lying on the wooden chair. All these things do not let her forget the memory of her mother in any way. Everything seems to be talking to her silently. And one by one, everything is lifting memories.

Especially at night, the house seems completely silent and then the window of feelings is wide open. Various feelings swirl in her head. And at night, Tina feels very alone. Her mother's absence is like a stone pressing on her chest. Suddenly in the middle of the night, it feels like her mother is calling, walking, smiling. Such a situation and such a feeling were not letting her sleep in any way. But later it seems that these are all memories. Anyone is no longer alive. Lost far away. From where she will never return.

One day after eating dinner, she entered her mother's room. The room was decorated like before. It feels like her mother would come to the room right now and say, "What's the matter, Tina? Why are you here so late at night? Sleep in your room. If you wake up too late, you will get sick. Go to sleep." As soon as Tina opened the cupboard, she saw a box inside, an old wooden box. Her mother took great care of it. Tina dusted off the dust and opened the box and saw some of her mother's favorite pictures, a comb and a broken mirror. And the most surprising thing was an old notebook.

On the first page of the notebook was her mother's beautiful handwriting. It was written Tina, if you ever feel alone, then remember this: love is never lost. People are lost, but love is never lost. Tina's hands trembled as she read it. Her eyes got wet. She started wondering, did mother already know that I would be so broken? And did mother know that I would come back one day? This curiosity began to judge Tina.

On the next page, it was written, No matter how difficult life is, you can do it, I believe in you. You will never break. Learn to conquer fear. Tina suddenly broke down while reading these. For the first time in her life, she realized that just as her mother's absence hurts, so does her mother's memory give her strength, inspiration and hope.

The letter also said, Tina, the day you cry for me, or feel me. Then remember that my hand will be on your head. I always want you to be happy, even if I am not here, my love will always be there for you and be a shadow. While reading the letter, Tina felt that her mother was dead, her mother was gone, yet it felt like she was there.

Maybe she doesn't look like it from the outside, but she is alive in her heart, alive in her breath, alive in every corner of this house. After that night, Tina never felt alone again. Because she understood that even if her mother leaves, her love never goes away. And love never dies, this is Tina's greatest healing. Thank you all.

I invited my 3 friends to join this contest.
