Healing shadows
Nune Tunjikian
The cabinets of the hallway are filled with old photographs.
Memories flood you each time you pass.
One morning, I noticed how the sunlight was focused on a particular frame.
The one with me and my sister as kids outside our old home, I'm wearing a pink dress and she is in her jean suit.
I've never spoken about her with love, words have always been hard to articulate.
The past seems to haunt me often.
But the sunlight was so sweet that day, her face bright with a smile.
It reminded me of the smiles we used to share instead of tears, the screams of laughter instead of anger.
I could see her again & I was reminded that the darkness of the past will always haunt you unless you shed light on it.
