Scars Of A Broken Bond

In that poignant moment, the reality of her father’s death truly sank in, as did the realization that she would never see him again.

After being adopted by the Blakely family, she often went to visit the house in which she and her father used to live. The familiar place became a sanctuary for Sabrina-a space to remember, heal, and treasure the precious bond she once shared with her father.

The house was eventually demolished. But Sabrina kept a collection of her father’s personal belongings as cherished keepsakes in the storage room.

Each item in the room carried memories of her beloved father, evoking feelings of both sadness and fondness.

There were some of his favorite books and notebooks, often used for drafting news articles.

One item that held sentimental value was a worn metal lighter. Every night, as her father worked on his news stories, he would use it to light a cigarette.

A classic camera also rested among the possessions, a faithful companion on her father’s fieldwork, capturing moments of significance.
