Summary: It’s been ten years since Kate’s mother died. Response to castle100 challenge memory.
Kate can’t remember if her mother liked meatloaf. It’s such a little thing, but it scares her. Ten years, and she’s forgotten so much. Did her mom know the words to “Auld Lang Syne”? What brand of soap did she buy? Did she ever read Stephen King?
Kate still remembers plenty: the sound of her mother’s laughter; the way she stirred her tea. But how long until those memories fade too, like an old photograph?
She can ask her father, but it’s not the same. So the next time Kate sees her father, she asks him if he likes meatloaf.
