The Light Holds Memory and Silence
The house is quiet now, and the inventory of the day begins. You try to reconstruct their laugh, to hear the exact pitch of it one more time, but your mind offers only static.
That silence feels like a second loss, a theft of the very thing you are desperate to keep. But listen — the darkness has not overcome it.
The light does not depend on your ability to remember perfectly. It was there in the room when they laughed, and it is here in the static now.
You are not defined by what you can recall, but by the Love that holds both the memory and the silence. The grief is real, but the light is deeper.
