Scars

Almost 20 years later and the wounds have healed. The bruises have faded, but the scars last. It still hurts to touch. We rebuilt our house so quickly on top of the old foundations. What was the purpose of re-constructing our lives with such urgency? It only covered our wounds with a giant band-aid that everyone sees from the street. At the core of our home, you can still see the tattered, scorched cement disappearing deep into the ground. Everyone has scars. Some are just more visible than others.
