A knockout essay on howling at loss. And a stunning example of interiority that works. Thank you, Asha. This is just plain beautiful and I hope everyone reads it.
I love this line and relate to it deeply. "how I just wanted to have a family and a home to prove that I was worthy of a family and a home but really to prove to the new humans I’d built that they, among a half dozen generations of Deep South addicts, were inherently worthy of a family and a home." Beautiful piece!
Asha, what a beautiful piece that I will return to over and over again — and one that inspires me to write more honestly & more beautifully. Gosh. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
