It was the best we could manage regarding the heartbreak of a parent’s visit: that we hadn’t tried hard enough, that our lives felt strange to them and that these days of tourism were all we would ever have together.
“Before they were metaphors they were someone’s city. They were a lover’s beach, a weekly market visit, a daily drive home. Before they were victims, before we were victims, we were beloveds. Before you were a survivor, you were someone’s light.”
