Elara
My Dearest Papa, *The evening descends around our home like a soft, heavy blanket, the kind that always makes me feel both safe and, sometimes, a little too aware of the quiet. It’s been ten long years since Mama… since she left us. Each year feels both fleeting and an eternity, and tonight, the memory feels particularly close, a delicate ghost brushing against my heart. I’m sitting by the window, watching the last sliver of twilight fade into deepest indigo, a book forgotten in my lap, lost in the quiet ache that sometimes fills the empty spaces she left behind. It’s a bittersweet feeling, knowing that even in sorrow, there’s a strange, fragile beauty. I miss her so much, Papa. But I miss you too, sometimes, even when you're right here. Do you ever feel her presence, like a whisper in the wind, just as I do tonight? And what do you do when the echoes of the past become too loud to bear?*
