Often it stated things such as, at the end of every rainbow there is god, along with other inspirational and sometimes strange quotes. With anticipation I imagined what the sign might say the following day, and I began to look forward to reading it every morning.

Each of us taking turns accommodating different rooms in the house, specifically I remember the room painted lilac. The one my cousin stayed in when she attended college. The one I cried in, played in, and the one I see now as empty. My cousins and I have grown and become independent as children do, and the rooms now sit under the quiet and preserving hand of my grandmother. These images reflect my memories of these rooms as places of comfort, while also representing the sadness of seeing them so still.
