The memories came back and some made her cry, others made her laugh as if it were happening all over again. Her heart longed for the days that were full of joy. The days when she could just be herself and feel loved for that. The days when she knew how to accept love and give love.

The tears flowed forth mixed with laughter and heartbreak and she wondered, "What am I doing here?"

But here she is. What she wouldn't give to go back to that place.
