Have you ever seen a picture, a beautiful one and thought that you really can't bear to see it?
Because for all it's beauty there may be something in it that is extra. Or missing.
A picture that may have brought smiles once upon a time not too long ago. But nostalgia reminds you of what was in the picture.
The home, the people, the family in it, the plants that made the garden, the pool that became a childhood weekend habit.
Each bit of that memory so precious- of what was. And just one missing element. One missing tree.
One missing person.
Is all it takes to make the beautiful picture land in the bottom-most drawer of the corner-most chest of drawers.
To collect dust over what once was- to forget, for it is no more.
