"And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
(I'd really love to break your heart) come on
I'm talking to you
Come on..."
Barely making it up the hill on that chill and rainy day, their yellow beat-up car finally returned home.
No parade or welcome committee was waiting for them. Not a single soul was in sight.
It was obvious that they had not been missed. Even safe to say that they were not even noticed to have
been gone in the first place. How tragic!

She stopped the car and they both looked around hoping it was all a joke. You know how people tend to
be funny sometimes. For sure they will all pop out from behind the trees to surprise
them with a warm welcome. But minutes passed, too many minutes to be honest and suddenly it hit her,
the realization, colder than the heavy rain that was falling on them provoking their bodies to
shiver, it was no joke, they had been forgotten! They had simply faded away in the time they had been
gone. Forgotten like those bills that need to get paid, forgotten like a bad poem you had to learn
in your high school days. Simply and absolutely forgotten without leaving a trace that they ever
existed. Tragic indeed.
Oh well, it could be worse!
"Come Sunny, let's go for a walk."
As they both walked under the rain their bodies continued to shiver. It was cold and yet, the rain
and chill weather were the perfect combination for a good walk to take with a faithful and loving
companion. Sunny was that to her. She stopped and looked down at him, looking into his eyes.
He was so special to her and for an instant, she thought that the name "Sunny" no longer suited him.
A name must have a special meaning, come from a beautiful memory, or to honor special people.
None applied to her Sunny anymore. "What should I call you now?" she asked as she bent down to
hug him. He licked her cheek as he wagged his tail placing his right paw on her knee.
She continued to embrace him tighter as her mind struggled to find a new and perfect name for him.
But the name "Sunny" continued to appear on top of the list refusing to go away.
"Sunny" it is, my beautiful boy!
And so she decided to rename him "Sunny", again, but with a new origin.
This time, his name came from her heart and it meant the sunshine for her dark days,
sunshine for the sunny days, and all the days in between. His name had been refreshed under the rain.
His name honors now all that is good.
She looked back, just for a split second, just to say goodbye to the past.
While it had been good for her, it had also been hard and cruel sometimes.
She was in mid-transection in her life, just half a step from a new beginning. A point where she
could see with more clarity the achievements she had earned by her actions in the past.
Sadly not all had made any difference for her or anyone else. What a shame!
Even more sad, many of the archived ones had been fast and temporary, not leaving an enduring beautiful memory.
Was it all done for nothing? She wondered.
She and Sunny continued walking in silence under the rain. She was lost in her head,
struggling with dozens of thoughts and questions that all came simultaneously. She couldn't find answers
to most of the questions or explanations for her thoughts. Truly an utter and brutish tornado of emotions.
Finally, in the distance, behind the curtain of heavy raindrops, she saw the end of the road,
something good for some and bad for others, depending on how you have traveled through life.
For her, it was a good thing... maybe.
Reaching the end of the road, life, an era, and even a moment may cause feelings of regret or satisfaction,
again, it all depends on how you have traveled through life. For her, it mostly caused the need
to go back to the beginning, the early days when everything was new and waiting to be lived.
Thank you life for what is yet to come!
