My most beautiful life story in 500 characters

I ring the bell, you open the door, your smile lights everything up. You barely give me time to step inside before wrapping me in your arms. For a long moment, we hold each other tightly, as if trying to make up for a year apart. There is no need to ask whether everything is alright, we know it, we feel it. I look at you, time’s chisel has carved even deeper lines upon your face, your eyes are filled with tenderness. You say nothing, I say nothing, we simply enjoy this moment of eternity. Your eldest is back!
