Roberto and Aaron stood outside Catherine's bedroom door, hesitating for a moment before entering. It had been weeks since her passing, and they still found it hard to come to terms with the loss. But they knew they needed to face their grief head-on, and what better way to do that than by surrounding themselves with Catherine's memories?

As they entered the room, they were met with a wave of nostalgia. The walls were still adorned with Polaroid pictures of Catherine and her friends, her family, and her favorite places. Her clothes still hung in the closet, her vanity still held her makeup and hair accessories, and her bed still had the same comforter she loved so much.

Roberto and Aaron wandered around the room, taking in every detail. They looked at the photos, remembering the happy times they had shared with Catherine. They sat at her vanity, looking at the makeup and hair accessories that she had used to get ready for school every day.

But as they looked around, they knew they couldn't bring themselves to change anything. They couldn't bear the thought of getting rid of any of Catherine's belongings, of erasing any part of her from their lives. So they left everything exactly as it was, a shrine to their beloved daughter and sister.

As they sat on her bed, surrounded by her things, they felt a sense of comfort wash over them. They knew Catherine was gone, but in this room, it felt like she was still with them. They could almost hear her laughter, see her smile, feel her presence.

Roberto and Aaron stayed in the room for hours, lost in their memories of Catherine. They cried, they laughed, and they remembered. And as they finally left the room, they knew they would be back, again and again, to revisit the memories and keep Catherine's spirit alive.
