The Photograph

A Final Smile, A New Beginning.

By Jeremy HallPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

In a hospital room, Edith smiled at her granddaughter, Chloe, presenting her with a tattered photo.

It was of Edith, vibrant and beautiful, dancing in the rain.

Chloe's eyes widened, seeing the stark contrast, yet the same twinkle lingered in both sets of eyes.

Whispering her final words, Edith said, "Live vibrantly, love deeply."

With that, she closed her eyes one last time, leaving the world but gifting her essence.

Chloe clutched the photo, a tear rolling down, promising to honour the last wish of a life well-lived.
