Sometimes that place isn’t a town.
It’s a kitchen floor.
A living room with music playing.
A grandmother’s laugh.
A little hand in yours.
Grief isn’t just missing a person.
It’s missing the moments.
The version of life that existed when they were here.
The ordinary days that turned out to be everything.
If someone came to mind while reading this, leave an emoji that reminds you of them.
