Write about something that you heard that you wish you could unhear.

I remember I was in my room when I heard my Father crying in his bedroom. I wish I could unhear that. It was the one year anniversary of my Grandfather's passing from pancreatic cancer. Never in my life had I ever seen him cry, not even at the funeral in Mexico. It sort of broke my illusions about my Dad, as some sort of unreachable adult. I saw him for what he was; human, just like me. Which was huge for my eleven year old self, who sort of held him on a pedestal. Not that it was a bad thing to cry, to mourn, but it was like a toddler finding out your mom has an actual name. Something a kid just couldn't previously comprehend. I remember it made me cry myself, like I finally understood the gravity of my Grandfather being gone. It was sort of an out of sight out of mind sort of thing, until in that moment it really hit. It just made me feel bad that my dad felt like he needed to hide and go through his feelings alone. So yeah, that's something I wish I could unhear.
