In the quiet of the night, she found herself drifting into the depths of her past, where laughter echoed freely and dreams danced with the stars. Each memory, a precious gem nestled in the fabric of her being, illuminated her heart with the warmth of cherished moments gone by. Her eyes closed as she went deep to the past where she was a whole. Right then she saw a picture of her mom holding her. suddenly She remembered the time when her mom use to say....
