The sun streamed through the window, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Michael, his eyes blurring with tears, read the letter. It was from his deceased best friend, John, written just before John moved away. He never sent it. The letter spoke of their shared dreams and the deep bond of friendship.

He felt a pang of profound sadness, but also an overwhelming sense of warmth. John had been the most important person in his life. He hadn't known how much he loved him until he was gone.

Michael decided to go through John’s old photo albums, savoring the memories. He wanted to remember every detail.
