It is possible for families to come together. It is possible for families to live while they are dying, some sooner than others. It is possible to have good times in tear time. Tenderness toward one another, knowing and being known, hearing and being heard: life in its essence. It is all conversing.
So the picture is holding a hand, leaning in, not holding back the tears, saying what we have not said before because now it is important, now it is urgent, now we see its significance. Revealing our meaning to one another.
It takes courage. Do we have the courage to offer it, to invite it?
