When we grow up we imagine that we can walk into the sun free of our parents. We don't realise until it's too late that we have no choice in the matter; they are always ahead of us. We carry them within us all our lives, in the shape of our face, the way we walk, the sound of our voice, our skin, our hands, our heart. We try all our lives to separate ourselves from them and only when they are dead do we find that we are indivisible. We grow to expect that our parents, like the weather, will always be with us. Then they go, leaving a mark like a hand print on glass or a wet kiss on a rainy day, and with their death we are no longer children.
