“I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight.

Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.”
—Hope Edelman (20th century)

—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
