And we are lying on the bed. Three of us. I am in the middle, my parents at the sides.

And they are laughing. And they are smiling. And they are cracking lame jokes that they used on me when I was young. And they are looking at each other with the kind of light in their eyes I haven't seen in a long time. And the bed is shaking the the echoes of our laugher. And the walls are dancing with the vibrance of our happiness. And the lights seem to be dimmer but the room seems to be so much brighter.

And I cannot help but feel like I am going to start crying. My heart is swelling, I am soaked to the bone with emotions.

I haven't seen them this happy in such a long, long time.

And this - I think. Yes, this, this, this is how you heal your family one step at a time.
