He let out a whoop of laughter that echoed around the room. The past, usually a source of quiet reflection, now sparkled with a lost vitality. The past, which was once a source of pain, felt very different now.

He felt like a child, ready to open presents on Christmas day. The whole world suddenly seemed new.
