With all the chaos in the world, personal and political, I seek out ways to be pro-active.
I also need to seek out ways to soothe myself during these times.
I realized I'm not alone in this.
These are friends showing me their dear objects.

“I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I remember taking the photo. It was shortly before she died. I wrestled with taking it. It felt cheap and intrusive. I sat there, holding her hand, realizing that it was the last time I would get to hold her hand in this life. It was such a poignant image. I’m glad that I did it now. My mother and I did a masterful job of pushing each other's buttons. But it always came down to a mother and her child.”
