### What Stayed Behind

The house, though, remained.

Pink. Bright. Impossible to ignore.

In the days that followed, people talked about it. Some loved it. Some didn’t. A few asked questions I didn’t feel like answering.

But none of that really mattered.

Because every time I looked at it, I didn’t just see a color.

I saw proof.

Proof that my mother’s life had reached beyond what I had known. Proof that kindness doesn’t disappear—it echoes. Sometimes in ways you don’t expect, from people you don’t know.
