(fanfic in Harry’s POV)

I was not close to my parents for a long time.

We used to live in a house as small as a matchbox and because of the close proximity there was always fights and I was invisible. I don’t remember much though which I consider a blessing. But I do remember a lot of fights and that we didn’t really have a life.

Now years have passed and our lives have improved drastically but my parents are old now. I feel awful when I think that they only knew pain and didn’t really get to experience life throughout their life but grateful at the same time that now there is kinda sorta peace.

I don’t really get along with my dad though no matter how much I try. My mom is my best friend . Seeing them old now makes my heart sad. I wish I could freeze time and they will forever be with me. We do certainly have our differences because of the generation gap but they are my everything. They are the only ones I have in this world and I cannot imagine life without them.

Seeing them dance and sing with Aaru is everything and pure bliss. Aaru came into our life like God and a blessing and took our pain away and suddenly I don’t remember the past pain. There are so many new memories and happiness because of her that past is just a blur. Seeing my parents happy because of her makes my heart swell with love.

Growing old is a privilege but as a child seeing wrinkles which was not there before on my mom’s face leaves me with sadness. I wish I can stop time. I wish I could do life again with them which is not painful as our past. But no one can rewind time. It only moves forward so all I can do is make new memories and cherish them.
