I don’t pretend to know the suffering of others, but I do think that it is important to mourn alongside those who are mourning. I believe that life can be breathed back into those who are gone when we choose to remember. Every month since August 2014, I have written a letter to. Mrs. Robin with a memory. This memory is sometimes disjointed and often I don’t get all of the details right, but the act of remembering laughter and things that were seemingly unimportant can remind those who are hurting that though their loved one is gone, they are not forgotten.

Embroidery on Used Starched Pillowcases, 27x19” each, November 2017
