The gentle rhythm of the rocking chair soothed Emily. Her worries, that had been plaguing her mind, seemed to fade away. Her niece, Olivia, had been coloring for hours, filling the house with a cheerful buzz. Emily, as a child, had a friend called Captain Blue, who always knew how to make her laugh.

Olivia handed her a drawing. It was Captain Blue, with his signature hat and goofy grin. Emily chuckled.

β€œHe’s sailing the seas!” Olivia declared, her eyes sparkling. Emily felt a warm feeling settle inside of her. She looked at the picture, the colors vivid, and a gentle smile spread across her face.
