His descriptions of the family communications [redacted] took me directly back to the intricacy of agitations I felt when working on the story.
Now, things are different. Then I saw everything as a story like singers see everything as a song.
Now, and after the mutual acknowledgement of the growth of people from the murder, I ask, what is my role?
It feels more personal and more about being a part of the 'healing of Jonathan.’
Like a nurse would clean a wound, bandage it and layout the protocol for healing.
A wound clinic.
He asked if we could get together every month, then he said every two weeks. I said yes! Let's connect when I get back from N.Y., after the 12th.
How do wounds heal that go so deeply into body and mind? - Rights
