“Shrouded in a veil, it is light in the availability of perpetual revelation in the mysterious game of the mind. A light breath draws the pressure stones. A true antidote to sorrow and fear. It is also a reminder in golden ink to always deposit the joy of the day in the other,” he continues.
“The memory he left me is priceless, defying time, able to return to the present with the sensations of a heartfelt embrace. The phone’s memory is also very good. The most beautiful smiles out there,” he remembers fondly.
