Cleaning house
Like the coming of spring, cleaning house is supposed to make you feel good. And then you move a pile of old papers from the bottom of a box in a closet and you find a letter.The letter.
And suddenly 15 years melt away and you feel hurt and vulnerable and as utterly cynical as you thought it was never again possible to be.
And then the tears come.
Which is a kind of housecleaning too.
