For any of you with fifty words just itching to get out, please feel free to create your own tiny window for me. Or for anyone else. I'd love to close the tiny windows for now on that note.
Another case wrapped up. Another child saved from a life of misery. Another step closer to making up for love lost, for time lost, for the times that things were not right and no one to right them for her.
She has worked so hard over the years to make sure the past is not repeated but the night terrors persist when no one is around and she wakes up to study again for the next final, to meet the next "impossible" task set before her. Forever chasing a dream but perhaps not fully realizing how to recognize when she has "arrived". She has given up on gaining the validation and praise from her parents but a part of her, a little girl deep inside, still longs for it and wishes it could be.
"They don't know me", she whispers to herself. "Nobody really knows me."
She shudders at the memories. Her memories. Their memories. They burn her soul and she goes to find solace in hugging her two boys, safe in her arms and vows to make sure they never have to go through that. Ever.
