I clear my thoughts and close the album. I am not going to live in the past at all.
Only then I realized it was all wet. I don't know when I started crying. It happens all the time whenever I think of the past memories.
I heard somewhere that once you are over your past you don't cry thinking about it. I guess I am still not over it. I doubt I will ever be.
I rest for a while and start packing my bags. I can't stay in my parent's house hiding forever. I will have to face everything sooner or later. Then why don't prepare yourself for the unknown.
After dinner, I approach Dad and ask him, "Dad? I was just looking through the pictures when I noticed this man. Do you know who this man next to grandfather is? I was just curious because I have no idea who he is and he appears in the majority of the photographs." I might have explained more than necessary.
It's fine as long as he don't notice.
