”What do I tell him? Do I tell him?” Gabriela asked her grandmother. ”Never say anything that is not true. Once you even suggest a lie it becomes your cell guard and you are forever beholden to that lie.” She said. ”OK but do I offer up decisions from my past or do I just let them lay there unspoken, unheard?” ”If he had made this decision – would you want to know?” Grandma asked as she slowly put down the hot black coffee. ”I don’t know. Aren’t the scenes from our past, once passed, better off forgotten?” ”Only if you can forget them. If not you are carrying around the weight and it will drag you down and eventually resurface. It will be like a snowball rolling down a hill of snow.” ”Grandma – why do we speak in so many metaphors?” She laughed. ”We are reciting words given to us by a writer – an author who knows the future and documents the past.” ”Oh Grandma – I love you.” ”Oh Gabriela – I love you too. My advice is to never deny the truth – you must trust the ones you love to accept you and understand whatever decisions you have made.” From "Chance Encounters" Freddythedaddy
