“My Heart Misses You”

 

Mona sat in her quarters looking over some new medical journals. She heard a small chime from the tabletop computer and brushed the padds aside and pulled up the communiqué that was coming in. A familiar face appeared on the screen. Mona smiled at her grandmother “Why hello Min. I have been meaning to call you.” The elderly Betazoid raised an eyebrow and said “Let me guess, my darling, you have been to busy.” Mona gave a slight nod, “I have just received some new crew and have been working on a few experiments, so things have been a little hectic. But I wanted to tell you about another memory I just found. It was about building a castle and the boys destroying it.” Minerva’s calm face gave no hint of emotion but Mona knew she understood. As she continued to talk Mona tried to remain calm. “I don’t understand Min, why is it always the sad or hurtful memories that come back.” Her grandmother gave a reassuring smile that did not do much to help the younger women. “I have told you my darling, this is a lifelong process. Your past will never come as easily as it does for others. Many of your memories have returned to you over the years, but there are still some that remain hidden.” Mona nodded, “Yes, I know your right. I guess sometimes a get a little to cocksure and think that my past won’t shock or hurt me as much. Then I brush the surface and realize I am still hurting.” Minerva gave her granddaughter a smile and said “You had the best doctors that have worked with you over the years and because of your inner exploration, you have found telepathic abilities that you never thought you could master. Be brave and know that I love you and will always help in any way I can.” Mona gave a weak smile “Thanks Min, you always know the right words to say.” With out missing a beat Min replied “I am a telepath darling, it comes with the territory.” “I wish I could talk longer, but duty calls. My heart misses you Min” The older women’s face softened “As does mine, my darling. Come visit me soon. My students would love to see you again.” With a smile and a nod Mona disconnected the communication. She had dearly missed her grandmother, who had been her strength during her amnesia. Mona thought, “I don’t know what I would have done without her. Heck she is taking care of me even as an adult.”
