Young and Beautiful (Princeton Love Story)

Remembering...

I sighed as I sat down into the chair. 'I'm to old for this shit' I think to myself. I slowly placed the old photo album onto my lap and stared at it for a while. It's been more than 10 years since the last time I touched it, let alone opened it.

I looked over to my grand daughter, Mariah and gave her a slight smile. But I could tell that she saw hurt in my eyes.

"Grandma, ya know you don't have to tell me," she says quietly.

"It's alright Mariah," I wrapped my arms around her carefully, "Grandma wants to get it off her chest sweetheart."

With that I opened to the first page and we both stared at the picture of us. I was very small and skinny when I was younger, while he was tall and well built. I smiled thinking about how I would always have to look up to him.

"Alright Mariah... It all started when I woke up one day to my mother's voice."
