Reunited

"Family is where life begins and love never ends"

She stood at the threshold of the house.

Anxiety battling her bravery.

The doorbell.

The door.

Ring?

Or nock.

Her hand trembled.

Knock.

Her fist collided with the door.

Once.

Twice

Thrice

Thrice, such a funny word.

She stepped back

One minute

Two 

Three

Four.

The door swung open. 

A woman and a man.

Looks of shock.

Then a small step forward.

Two 

Three

    They collide.

Arms wrapping around and sobs.

Joy.

Tears shed for the lost years.

    The lost lives.

The lost hours,minutes, memories.

Finally reunited.

This exudes happiness and makes me smile. Such joy there is in the reuniting of loved ones! Very good writing, my friend. I like it a lot.
