Clipped Wings and Inked Armor, Ch. 39

There is a palpable feeling now when reading these chapters. You can feel the healing of the gaping wounds in these two souls. With each consideration for the other, it is like slowly being cocooned in your favorite blanket. There are still exposed areas that sting when a harsh wind blows, and they may never be completely guarded from the storm of memories, but they are both starting to remember how if felt to be warm.

Bella sharing her albums and stories with Edward was huge in my book. The memories are still so fresh and jagged for her, but with time, in my experience, you are able to focus less on the harsh way you lost your loved one, and more on the positive memories you had in the time you had with them.

They just need to keep doing what they are doing. One day at a time. To enjoy this life they are starting to build together.
