Lost

Every time I see her, there’s a pain that slowly stirs in deep places. I catch myself watching her simplest movements: the way she reaches to greet a friend, her smile at each stop through the room. I have to turn away before my memories overtake my emotions.

She remembers nothing from before the accident.

    Beautiful. I've got a family member with TBI, so this one struck a chord.

    Wow, a little gem of a photo accompanied by a little gem of a write. Fantastic!
    (I wonder how many were reminded of Gabrielle Giffords and her husband as they find the new Normal.)
