The Moon knows when the Flowers bloom

Tears consisted of water and salt. How ironic that we needed both to survive. Odessa cried. It was this heartbreaking, sad cry.

The day had started so well. She had received letters from her parents today. It was morning and there was once again a breathtaking breakfast in the large hall. Golden brown juicy waffles, perfectly fried bacon scrambled eggs with toast bread. She was always incredibly enthusiastic about the food in Hogwards. A letter landed on her plate.She recognized it immediately - pink paper and in the corner a small drawing of a flower. The sender was clearly visible: her father.
She opened the letter excitedly and smiled in the silence...until she read it.
The bite got stuck in her throat. Her smile faded. She slowly let the fork sink.
Tears formed in the corners of her eyes. She blinked quickly.
She reads the letter again.And again.It was written in capital letters:

Happy anniversary from our flower garden! Your roses grow very well and we miss you with all our hearts.
In love
Mother and Father


The rest of the day was torture for her - smiling, being friendly and answering questions.
When the sun went down she went into the astronomy room to look at the stars.
But when she stood in this big room and looked up at the stars, she couldn't help but close her eyes and cry. The stars were so beautiful.She miss her Mom and dad so much.
She had forbidden herself to think about them - and yet they did, every single day. Today would have been her flower day. Ever since she was little, her mother had always said, "A flower can wither, so we have to care for it thoroughly so that it grows!"
The flower day was something special for Odessa. Her mother, father and she had built their big garden 7 years ago today. She was so proud and as a 4 year old little child she had proudly held up the rose she had grown herself. Her parents immediately took a photo and were still laughing when they told her how happy she had been.
The flower has continued to grow since this day.
"Mom..Dad...thank you..so much",She whispered up to the moon as if she wanted her parents to hear.She miss them-but now her new Home is here.She better make herself comfortable.

"Life is to short to be normal-saty weird!"❤️❤️
