Tales of a Lost Smile
This may sound stupid, but I’m adding it because it’s how I feel right now. Tonight I was reorganizing my bookshelf and found my old scrapbook I’d attempted to make. Had a couple of family photos in it. I found a picture of me and my parents. It was probably my 4th or 5th birthday. I have the BIGGEST cheesy grin on my face….I’m 24 now. Seeing how happy I was broke my heart. Because I know what happened in the years after, and I know that happiness and light in my eyes would leave thanks to my dad being an alcoholic for half of my life. It’s a gut punch knowing I couldn’t stay that same happy girl. I want that back.
