Writing

It’s interesting that we both chose to work with words to describe our loss, to describe feelings we’re trying to make sense of. When Robert died as well we both wrote about it. I haven’t looked at those poems for a long time. The ones we did at the scattering. I know you wrote a beautiful poem for the baby too. I suppose by doing that we’re remembering. That’s the filial obligation I suppose. I suppose filial is like French for son/daughter - Latin filiius/filia.
