The Untold Moments

Chapter 19: Always Forgiveness

When we lose something or someone it hurts. But we will always have the memories. The people to help you. When I last my mom, I died inside. She was my everything. But I wasn't alone. My mom never wanted me hate what we couldn't change.

I know she doesn't blame or hate how it all went down. I need to do what she would always tell me to do. To forgive. There is someone I need to forgive.

I went to my Uncle Elijah's study. I know he would be in since he remembered. I took a breath and knocked.

"Enter." I heard him say.

So, I went in. He was in one of his suits sitting behind his desk. I looked around the room thinking of my mom. She always loved this room because she felt closer to Uncle Elijah.

Uncle Elijah looked up from what he was doing and asked,

"Is everything okay Hope? Is there something you need?"

"Yes, there is something I need. We need to talk." I told him.

He looked at me consured. The last time my Uncle Elijah and I tried to talk it didn't go so well. He got up from his desk and came over to me. He then led me to the couch in the room.

"What is on your mind?" He asked me.

"Ever since everything happened, I have been blaming people. I know my mom never raised me to be like that. I don't want to be like that. I mostly blamed you for it all. I'm sorry. I forgive you for everything. I know it wasn't your fault." I told him.

"Hope, you don't have to apologies to me. You had the right to blame. You lost your mom. You had all rights to hate." He told me.

"I still want to. It's the right thing to do." I told him.

"I accept your apology. Your mom would be so proud of you." He told me.

"I know. She was so happy for you." I told him.

"What do you mean?" He asked me confused.

"I was listening into Aunt Freya's and my mom talking one day. My mom was talking about her trip seeing you. She said it did hurt but she was happy that you finally found peace and happiness." I told him truthfully.

"Funny about that day. When I saw her and started to talk to her, I felt something. I could tell there was a connection there. I just couldn't explain it. But wanted to connect to it." He told me.

"Your guys love connection never died. She knows that. That's why she couldn't stay longer. She knows if she did, she was never going to leave. She couldn't do that to you or me." I told him.

"Always putting others before herself. You definitely get that from her." He told me.

"I have a lot from her. Everyone tells me. I miss her Uncle Elijah. I miss her every day." I told him truthfully.

"I do too. There isn't one day I don't think about her. She is always on my mind." He told me.

He then pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back. It was nice talking about her. My mother was right. Forgiveness is the key to happiness.
