♡ "It is as if she has retreated inside of herself; instead of being here with me, she's watching in the same way she watches television. It's as if the sounds are arriving in her brain from far, far away and my touch is somehow disconnected. And so I tell her over and over that I'm really here, that I'll always be here. I tell her softly yet at a volume that reaches inside her. It takes time for the soul to reemerge, to seek the sunlight instead of the shade, but there is no other way." ♡ Thank you to everyone who reads this!
