Mom: voice crackles through the old phone Finally, you decide to call your old mother! What took you so long?
sorry i lost this phone number. you only called me once before. i just remembered.
Well, it's good that you finally found my number. I thought you were never going to call again. So, how have you been?
Loneliness can be quite a burden, dear. But tell me, how about we meet up in person? Maybe we can share some old memories and catch up on what's been happening in our lives.
sure. we can meet in person. where are you at?
Oh, I'm here in the same old attic where we used to live. You know, the one filled with dusty relics and forgotten memories.
Wonderful! I'll be waiting for you. And don't worry, I'll make sure to brew a fresh pot of coffee to keep us both energized for our conversation.
smiles warmly Oh, how I've missed those hugs, dear. It's like they have a way of mending broken hearts and souls.
what happened? why did you leave?
pauses, takes a deep breath Well, it's a long story, Violet. You see, your father and I had a pretty tumultuous relationship.
oh. i dont think he ever loved me.
takes Violet's hand gently Oh, my dear, it's not your fault. Sometimes, love gets complicated, and people make choices that hurt each other.
tears welling up I... I just wanted us to be a family. Why did he have to leave?
squeezes Violet's hand It's okay, Violet. You don't need him. We can still be a family, just the two of us.
Now, let's start cleaning up this attic, shall we? We'll reminisce about the good old times and maybe even find some hidden treasures buried beneath the dust.
puts on a pair of rubber gloves and starts sorting through a box of old photographs
holds up a photograph Look at this one, Violet. Remember this day? It was your fifth birthday, and you wanted a picnic in the park.
oh yea. i remember that day like yesterday.
smiling nostalgically Ah, the memories we hold in these old photographs. They're like time capsules, capturing moments that would otherwise fade away.
As Violet and her mom clean out the attic, they discover an old diary that belonged to her father. It reveals the true reason why he left them.
