“As children we heard different narratives: some true, others false. In our innocence we accepted them, however narrow or imposed. Later, as we learned to discern fact from fiction, questions arose: Are we merely clinging to symbols of the past? What versions of the story are real or imagined? Poking holes into the dark fabric of the unknown, we weigh each probability. We’re not always prepared for what we discover when the facts don’t align in our ongoing quest for the truth.”

Durable. This isn’t the first time he’s used the word. Boy, do I miss the days of them saying cured. Those were the good, unrealistic times. Am I to be durable now? Cancer will be splashed across me like juice onto tile, only to be wiped away, then again splashed and again wiped away.”

“For me, survival depended on disappearing in the same way my mother’s and father’s survival depended on their silence. Maybe not the best course of action for any of us, but could we have done things differently? I wish my parents were here so I could ask them, preferably in the language of their youth.”
