“She didn't say so aloud, but True thought that maybe all the things she started to forget as the days passed by were only a dream away. She believed that maybe with her photo near her head, it would attract her memories of her mother like a wish to a well. That if she were lucky enough, every night those photos would make the memories of her mother that much harder to forget.” LoveLifePainLossFamilyHealing The PastLoss Of Family Book:Crystal Key: Door to a New World Source: Crystal Key: Door to a New World
“His father often mentioned young and old. He'd said it was to remind himself to put things into perspective. To remember that he was starting to age. His black curly hair, which he passed on, had begun to gray Ironically, his mustache had beaten his hair and beard to it, losing all of its black sheen in favor of silver. Even his eyes seemed a little less blue as the days went on. Even though he knew his father was aging, in moments like those, as he smiled showing him a photograph of a bright light in the shape of a person, he often thought his father was younger. He could look past the slight wrinkle of his skin and the color of his veins that he couldn't see a year before.” LoveLifeBeautifulFamilyYouthAgingAppreciationOld AgeYouthfulnessWholesome Book:Crystal Storm: Battleground Source: Crystal Storm: Battleground
