The halls used to echo with laughter, excited voices each day after school. Now they are silent, but sometimes I swear I hear someone laughing. Now the silent halls only hear laughter again on holidays, when you and the grandkids visit. I remember the tears after your first breakup, and the way you would be so grumpy in the mornings and the happiest person on earth in the afternoon. I remember all the tears and laughter, all the angry shouting, the way you and your brother would play. I remember all the paintings, now collecting dust, I remember every little thing and yet, I still find myself going through all the old photo albums. Sometimes I just sit on the couch, watching the sunset like we used to do. I hope you visit someday, that would be nice. But until then remember, that… that I love you.
