one more year passed .. Vincent Van Gogh’s famous last words seem so apt

…’the sadness will last forever’..

… kind of morbid and depressing but that is how it feels when a close and dear one leaves you. There is an unsaid, unspoken corner in your mind that houses the good memories the cherished times the valuable stories the lovely smiles the reassuring gaze, the comforting gestures and so much more. Its all sealed and locked for you to open and visit, whenever you want. But the lingering thought of emptiness and not being able to see someone in flesh and blood will remain forever…. and the sadness will come in a flash. It may not remain as is.., it may be overcome by happy moments. But deep down it stays..’
