Love Remains When Memory Lets Go
The house is quiet now, but your heart is loud with a grief that has no name. You sit beside the person who gave you life, watching her eyes slide past your face as if you were a stranger in the room.
It feels like being erased while you are still standing right there. But listen — the light does not depend on being recognized to be real.
There is a secret name written on a white stone that only the two of you share, and no fog of memory can wash it away. She may not know your face tonight, but the love that formed you knows hers perfectly.
The light sees her even when she cannot see you. You are not alone in this watch; the Father who sees in secret is sitting right here on the edge of the bed.
The bond is not broken just because the mirror is clouded. Love remains even when the mind lets go.
