She heard the laughter flow thru her windows.She longed to be a part of others lives,others conversations,no one had time for an old woman like her anymore.She was filled with fun,amazing,stories.She walked thru the hallway ever so slowly,it gets slower each time,for it is not just a hallway.It is another world,era.Her youth..Pictures of a energetic,athletic,girl filled the hallway,each picture she looked on a distinct memory came to mind.She could smell the salty water of her sailing on the beach..The peach from her 18th birthday cake.The Honeysuckle that lined the fence in the back of her childhood home.She could get lost here for hours at least it brought her happy warm feelings.Yet there were the feelings of loss,and pain.
