This blog is often concerned with commemoration. I am aware that it is also, not infrequently (and perhaps increasingly so), about loss.Here is another photo of my mother, this one from later years. The picture, which she used professionally, is undated, but I believe it is from the late 1980s or early 1990s.
She died in 2001 (fourteen years ago today), at age 73. I continue to be routinely and deeply aware of her absence, of the loss.
