Mother & Son.

Remembering

Keith had been told to never forget or block out the memories of him with his father. He never forgot. It was bittersweet remembrance that kept him going. And every year when it was time to reflect, he cried. He never wanted to cry, but he did anyways.

He woke up and was more quiet then normal, that worried Krolia.

'Was he okay?' was her thoughts all day.

He had looked pained and hadn't said a word, along with that it was almost nightfall. 

They sat in the cave having just finished their evening meal, when Krolia had come to the conclusion to say something to him.

"Keith?" She spoke softly, "You've hadn't said a word all day, what's wrong?"

She watched as his breath hitched and he just said, "Dad."

It hurt Krolia so much, she had left Earth to keep her family safe and at peace, now her son was in space near crying and the love of her life was long dead. She had to appear strong now, for Keith, but it was so damn hard. So she pulled him close.

Keith broke into tears arms wrapped around his mothers waist. Krolia frowned and combed her finger through his hair.

It would take some time, but now that they were together they would heal.
