Haunting Memories - 1. Chapter 1

Memories are tricky things.

 

I remember one rainy day playing hide & seek in the house.

I remember you lifting me up to hide on the top shelf of the wardrobe.

The older kids couldn’t find me.

I remember your laughter. It was our secret.

 

I also remember you getting angry one day when I lost my gym socks.

I remember you beating me until I couldn’t walk.

The older kids didn’t try to save me.

I remember missing school for the next two days.

 

I remember finding pills with names I couldn’t pronounce.

 

I remember your smile. You had the biggest dimples I’ve ever seen.

I remember you chasing butterflies.

I remember you breaking all the mirrors in the house.

I remember you arguing alone in the dark.

 

I remember hearing whispers when we walked by.

They would ask why anyone would try to save a failing marriage by having another baby.

I remember them shaking their head and say poor thing got stuck with two.

 

I remember you dancing.

I remember your beauty.

I remember your last words… and your last breath.

She wasn't perfect, but she was the only parent I had.

I've heard people say the bad memories fade away, but my childhood was such a mix of emotions. Thanks for reading, Percy.

I'm sorry Nos, I didn't want to upset anyone. It was just my wait to try and fight through some bad memories that keep tugging at me.

Memories can be bitter sweet things. I know you had an interesting relationship with your mom, with many ups and downs. Take what you can of the good my friend, and try to forgive and let go of the bad so they don't weigh you down. :hug: Any time you need one.
