Every now and then, I try to take mental pictures of happy times, of
times when we would suddenly burst into laughter for no reason at all,
of times when we would look at each other and begin to smile and see
the beauty we all hold, of times when we are together, of times we want
to last forever, of times when we believe that forever will last, of
times when we believe that forever is real. I imagine these moments as
photographs, little reminders of what had been and what will always be.
This is one of those photographs. This is one moment I had foreseen a long time ago, a moment I knew that I would want to keep.
It's a simple afternoon in a simple scenario. There are no bright
lights. There are no fireworks. There are no sunsets or waves or white
sand beaches. Just a simple afternoon after a long day at school, a
place which had been our home for such a long time now. Here is that
mental picture, the happy photograph I will keep in my heart...
We walk down the hallway, back to our separate homes, tired and
exhausted, yet happy and fulfilled. Our smiles shine brighter than the
sun, glorious like the harmonies that spring forth from our youthful
melodies. We laugh. We cry. We have fun. We resound the song of
friendship, of young hopes and dreams, some in our reach and some
beyond our grasp. Alone we walk but together we step forward, bringing
life to a once faint soul.
It is good to remember nice moments of the past , but at the same time , we must make efforts to reproduce them at the present time , when it is possible...
That is beautiful. I try to do that too. When I'm having a particularly stressful time, I take my kids, we go out and take lots of pics of us just fooling around. When I look back on those pictures, I see us having fun.
