One evening, Mrs. Thompson came into the room with a small brown notebook. "Lily, sometimes writing things down can help us understand our feelings," she said, handing Lily the journal. At first, Lily wasn't sure what to write. But she gave it a try, starting with simple thoughts—how much she missed her parents, memories of them, and even little things she remembered, like her mom's warm hugs or her dad's laugh. She also wrote about her new friends and how much Mrs. Thompson's kindness had meant to her. The journal quickly became her private space, a place where she could share her sadness and also her hopes. With every entry, she felt as if she were putting a small piece of her broken heart back together. Writing became her way of understanding her loss, and gradually, each page filled with her journey of healing and growth.
