Different Layers

Some memories get stuffed away until the time is right to think about it again. I believe it's a gift that some children can bury what is too big to burden at the time. That memory can get stirred up all of a sudden years later as easily as by remembering a smell or the sound of someone's voice. Then, it's like peeling back all the layers and layers you piled on top. If they're lucky, they can let the burden go and fill that space back up with something beautiful, like forgiveness and compassion.
