A Fifth Season is a place of pause to grieve the death of my first and only child. A season characterized by reflection on the big stuff and the little stuff that this mom encounters as I parent the memory of my child, and my child, in loving return, parents my heart.
This reminds me of a sculpture installation at my college -- I went to Syracuse University, which lost 35 students in the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Scotland in 1988. My senior year ('96), Syracuse hosted an outdoor memorial of sculptures of the mothers who lost their children. The sculptor herself had lost her 21-year-old son in the bombing. http://www.darkelegy103.com/gallery.html
Wow, that is beautiful

ReplyDeleteHoly emotion, "Two Shorten the Road"! The sculpture at Syracuse made me catch my breath. Thanks for sharing the link.
