Hi

Best intentions

-“Do you know why you are here, darling?”
-“Because of my grades?”
-“Yes, your father is very worried. Are you having trouble concentrate?”
Timidly. -“Yes.”
-“Your father said you used to celebrate grades.” -A long time ago. -“He said you studied even harder after... Do you want to talk about it?”
-“Not really.”
-“It's OK to miss her, you know?”
-“yes.” - A tear rolled down his face.
-“You don't have to go through this alone. You should let it out. What would you say to her if she were here?”
-”She is not!”
-“Let’s make believe, imagine she could hear you. What would you say?” - Time passed endlessly. -“You know what I think?” He shook is small recoiled head. -“I think you miss her terribly. I think you still wish her good night every night and I think that she answers back. I think it’s been 3 years and you don’t remember her face by heart anymore and it scares you. I think you shouldn’t feel guilty about it.”
He jumped on his feet, ran out the office and met these huge arms. -“I'm sorry dad. She is new at school, gorgeous, smart and funny and she understands me, I am so sorry. I will pay more attention at school daddy. I don’t want to forget mom, I don’t.”
-“It’s OK, she only wanted you happy. I am so happy you have a friend.” – Indiscriminately poured salt water merged within the long embrace.   

This too shall pass

Then there was light,
and as sure as the sun would rise,
man would learn it hard and early
that this too shall pass.

From the greatest of news,
to the rottenest of plagues,
should swift your body
then, over and again.

The day after,
tomorrow may be
perish or rise.

Stronger,
'till the only fitting home
is where sorrow's gone.
