As I shared that information with her…I looked at how she was…so vulnerable, so sweet, so keen to what was happening. I could feel her in me…I could feel how the both of us became one and the lines that divided us.
"…a service that backs up cell phone data, even disposable cell phones."
She looked curiously at me. Her beautiful green eyes gazed at me and filled an ember of hope in my body.
"Like Sara's?" she answered peculiarly, intently waiting for the information that I wanted to share with her.
"The call records lead nowhere, but…"I bit my lip, looked at Jessi's laptop and then back at her." She took some pictures."
"Of what?" I looked at her again, just gazing into her beauty, her vulnerability and anxiousness towards the new information I had of her mother. The person she had cared for the most in this world.
She clicked on the computer as I answered her." you…"
She passed the pictures with curiousness and intent to what her mother had left her. I loved to watch her smile as she gazed at those pictures. I just had to think for myself that…
Memories are a way of keeping your past alive; some are so painful we never want to visit them, but a memory can also be a gift something we can open again and again in order to fill ourselves with happiness.
She looked at one of the last pictures and then at me. She smiled so beautifully, I just had to smile back at her. She was so full of joy and true happiness. It was incredible how she exuded those feelings towards me making me feel warm and fuzzy. She grinned intently watching the rest of the pictures. I just gazed at her amazement.
The happiness she had just went through me… she smiled at me again and I just saw through her eyes. The love and astonishment in them—my gaze on her.
And sometimes a moment becomes a memory the instant it happens because it is so true, so pure and so significant you want to capture it forever.
I just couldn't help but to savor the moment. I cupped her face as she looked nervous at what was about to happen and then in that moment we shared together…everything felt complete and whole. It was as if we made that perfect moment so special there was no way it could be undone.
