Description " In the mild evenings after dinner, they had used to sit on the stairs watching the kittens from the barn at their play. Or they had watched the hedgehogs when they came grunting out ready for the evening.
They had sat in silence admirering the new shining pump that had been installed the very same morning.
Every summers evening they had sat there, quietly talking of the day that had passed, or just sitting together in the comfortable silence that is the trademark of a good life together.
Later it had been a bit difficult to get up from the low position, as age and the hard work had taken its toll. But still they kept the evening ritual.
After cancer had taken him away, she tried to sit there a few evenings almost feeling him, and still talking in her heart and mind with him.
But also that stopped, as the sparkle in even her eyes faded to a low shimmer.
And one summers evening the stairs were empty. The small courtyard was silent, and only now did Time realise that it was no longer welcome here.
So Time faded away into abandonness"

A nice story you have written to our pic. One can see the old couple sitting there... and one would like to go in and see this abandoned place and think how it once had looked. Really a story behind this.

Yes it WAS crying and then it started to whisper its story to me, and I promised to tell it to the world, mentioning that the name of the story was : "Life"
