Bringing the Past to the Present
Trees
They are gone. How does a child continue to keep a parent alive? It's been 22 years. Photos, memories, documented. Honor their memory.
More than that? Black friends call them in. Some people continue internal conversations. Some end up at a shrink. Some feel lasting gratitude. Some are released to begin their true purpose. Some feel a release from responsibilities. Some sense impending separation. - Rights
