i never thought that eleven years could be considered as ‘just yesterday’. yet, it did. then again i felt that your living room did not use to be that small. it used to be not that shady too. i didn’t see the wooden ducks that used to park on the buffet. and those three boys. the last time i saw you, you lost a man. now you gained three! life could not be that bad. still, i could see in your eyes who you missed the most. i know things have changed since. couples separated. people drifted apart. family lost contacts. i understand why you’re holding on to past events that tight. i could see why writing things down is important for you. it’s been long that fond memories showed up to your door. because life had stopped when he’s gone. but tears must not come, though laughter is unbearable. so, i’m personally sorry if the fact that how we missed those old things have dragged our feet to your house today and it somehow made you sad to suddenly struck by some yesteryear’s stuff.

it’s exactly why we showed up today. we cannot promise you happier things for you to experience then recollect someday. but we’re here if you need to reminisce the joyful past. because one way or the other, we’re family.
