Photographs and Memories

It was unfortunate that we've been flooded last two weeks ago. However, there's some good things that came out of it, at least for me. I have lot of spaces now for storage. And scrubbed and cleaned at that. Sentimental wise, I can't easily discard broken things in hopes of fixing it other times, hence accumulated under the lavatory and kitchen cabinets. Clothes and linens that no longer in use and yet stored at the farthermost corner of the dresser. All those things were gone now, taken by the big garbage truck.

Except for the old and worn photo albums. Well, we dont throw away memories, right? After my separation, I put them all at the lowest shelf of the entertainment cabinet because it's covered. I can't bear to look at our family pictures.. then...Shielded myself from the pain and regrets. Until now....

I scanned all the albums, wiping away the moist from every pages, remembering every details of every pictures, a kaleidoscope of vivid reflections of my smiling with me and their dad, happy moments together. Fractal images of our life.


We seldom capture sad moments, maybe because, it's not so good to look at frowned, creased faces. So engrossed, I didn't realize, it no longer pained me to see "him." Funny, I smiled back. Then, came acceptance. Times gone by... Everything and everyone will come to pass, but, LOVE and memories of the heart, NEVER.......

It was the most painful part during and after the divorce looking at the wedding album. Crying just looking at the history. My son took the whole box away and God knows where they are. There were happier times, and often time wished why the sadness set it...

Greatest feelings in the world when two souls profess a love for each other...
