@gracie-j. @queen_of_alvastia. @koshka. @elishavet-pidyon. @lydia-s. Y’all…I had to share this one. I love it, but I made myself cry with this one. 😭💖 HE’S SO SWEET AND PRECIOUS!!!! 😭💖
The wind whipped around, pulling on his coat, and tousling his hair. Leaves crunched beneath his shoes.
The wrought-iron gate cast a shadow on the grass and leaves.
Jayden looked up at it. He took in a deep breath.
And walked into the cemetery.
Walked past gravestones. He didn’t need information.
He knew exactly where he was going.
Flowers sat with many gravestones.
He hadn’t been here…not for years.
But it was time.
Because if he didn’t do it now, he never would.
Jayden clutched the bouquets in his hands tighter.
And he saw it.
Two markers, side by side.
He walked over to the smaller one, forcing his legs to move. Twelve years. Twelve years since that day.
Jayden got onto one knee beside the smaller marker. Glanced up at the name. Grayson Noah Matthews. 1931-1934.
Jayden smiled faintly. He’d never forget his baby brother. Never forget that smile.
Never forget the pain.
But out of the pain…came beauty.
Even if it took time for the beauty to rise.
Jayden set the bouquet down in front of the marker. “Live on, Grayson…”
He stood.
This was where it got hard.
He got back onto one knee, instead in front of the large marker. Maria Elizabeth Matthews. 1902-1936.
Tears began to trail down his cheeks.
She had never loved him. She had said horrible things to him. Convinced him he was worthless. She let Grayson, her son, die. She had abused Jayden day after day after day.
He glanced where his family…his brother…sister…parents…were waiting for him.
They were his family.
What his mother had done…it was in the past.
She had abused him.
She turned him into an abused kid, a traumatized teen, and a scarred adult.
Jayden looked up at the sky, the heavens, above.
And he…smiled.
But the scars had turned into something beautiful.
He glanced back at the marker that bore his birth mother’s name.
The woman who had hurt him.
The woman who had never loved him even though she was supposed to be the one person who should.
The woman who had made him think he was worthless.
Jayden laid his hand on the cold, wet stone.
“It’s okay…” He set the second bouquet on the marker, smiling through his tears, “I forgive you now. If you can hear me, just know…I forgive you…for all of it.”
And with that, Jayden stood.
Turned towards his family, with a new mind, a new heart, and as a new man.
He turned away from the pain…the sorrow…the guilt…the shame…the abuse of the past.
And never looked back.

Awwwww, it sounds like Jayden’s finally finding healing in that excerpt. And yes, so sweet.
You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan

I know it’s sad…but also…meaningful. This is a part of the beginning of his healing…and forgiveness was one of the first steps he had to take. 💖💖💖
