A lot can be true at the same time.
There can be a smile.
A laugh.
The making of plans again.
Good days that are actually good.
And still, the missing is there.
A smile does not mean they are forgotten.
A laugh does not mean the ache is gone.
Living again does not mean loving them less.
Sometimes grief looks quieter because it has become part of how love is carried.
And that love still deserves to be seen.
