You Are the Ground They Walked On
The sun is up, but the house feels quieter than it ever did when they were small. You protected them from everything you could, yet now you fear you have become invisible to the very ones you loved most.
There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off. He ran.
Before the apology, before the speech — he ran. The light does not forget what it has held.
You are not a ghost in your own home; you are the ground they walked on to get here. The dawn proves that what seems lost in the night is simply waiting to be seen again.
Your love did not vanish just because their eyes are looking forward now.
