Dear Steemians,

"I welcome you to the Second Week of Season 28 of the Steemit Challenge, Duration Monday, November 17th- 23rd, November 2025."

"Steemit Challenge Season 28" brings you an opportunity for "Creative Writing", allowing your imagination to go as wide as you allow it to, but I want you to come up with a story full of real life-facts which provide your readers a true sensation and take them to the world of fantasy. Let's see how you create a story based on the prompt provided below:

The prompt of the week : Remembering Through Healing

Source editted

Tina came back home since her family was going through a tough time after the death of her mom. She came back home after years away, but she felt the walls still whispering stories of laughter and her mother’s gentle voice. She felt everything had changed since her mother was no more, but she remembered how her family moved through the days, trying to forget not so happy conversations that always irritated her.

Tina now cooked, cleaned, managed errands, and remembered all about her company with her mom, and evenings felt too long at times. She remembered the strain, the arguments flaring over small things, the way grief sometimes twisted love into impatience yet, their affection held them together. Tina felt upset every night, when the house settled into stillness.

She often felt as if gone back in the past and talking to her mom. She thought of her mother, her warmth, her strength, her laughter even if she didn't go so well with her at times.

She often wished she could talk to her, just once more, to say that she was trying her best, even when she failed. The thought brought both guilt and comfort. Losing her mother left an ache that time wouldn’t heal, yet, being back home gave her one quiet truth to hold on to, love doesn’t leave, even when people do.
