Always Keep Simming - Hey there, Delilah…

TW: Death, Grief, Mention of Depression

Once again, this episode takes place at the graveyard. Only continue reading if you are untroubled by aforementioned topics 🫶🏻

Aileen had promised her grandmother to come back and bring her grandfather with her. So, on this day, after the kids had gone to bed, Aileen and Alexander traveled to Forgotten Hollow. Once Alexander stepped into Delilah’s room, he was overwhelmed with grief and all kinds of different emotions and couldn’t control himself any longer. Aileen was heartbroken seeing her grandfather like this but she new he needed this. He had never been to Delilah’s grave before. Only partially because of the distance between Strangerville and Forgotten Hollow.. Delilah had died in the hospital in emergency care and not having been there for her in her last moments had been a traumatic experience for Alexander. Maybe it was one of the reasons he was scared to face her grave. It felt more final, whereas dreams of their life together kept her alive in his mind…

This time, Aileen didn’t need to call forth her grandmother. Delilah had felt Alexander’s spirit approach and seeing him cry, her ghost quietly appeared right in front of him. Alexander knew he’d meet her ghost but finally seeing her was surreal- but at the same time, it was just like the old times. They immediately started flirting, joking and expressing their love and devotion for each other. Alexander apologized for not being there on her deathbed and Delilah told him it didn’t matter, that she knew he’d done anything to be by her side, but life had had different plans. They had gone through the toughest times together (when Alexander was in prison & when Delilah was diagnosed with a deadly disease) but they had rebuilt their lives from the ground up again and again, they had raised their children together, built a house, moved countless times. Most importantly, throughout their lives, they had always loved each other and supported one another, no matter what happened. They had an unbreakable bond even death couldn’t touch. Delilah assured him that she had found peace after all. It was not what Alexander wanted to hear, but it was her truth. And eventually, he’d be able to let go and find peace himself 🩷

When they exited Delilah’s room, Alexander expressed his gratitude to his granddaughter. She had given him courage to come here and face what he had lost. Though his mental health wouldn’t be cured over night, this encounter had been a huge step and he felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Knowing that Delilah was at peace and didn’t feel resentment towards him was a relief. He was ready to keep working on himself and get to enjoy living with his family again 🩷

Alexander took the kids to the park with their friends, so Aileen and Colin had some time just for themselves 🫶🏻
