A lovely exposition of the father/son relation wrought in the tracks and trails that you two traversed, in your life together. I like very much how you framed it with a tender melancholy at the passing of time, and it went so fast didn't it? I still remember him a blonde haired child with great jewels for eyes he used to train on you every now and then - and what were the things he saw, I used to wonder? You say he walks on his own now, though it is clear he carries an inheritance in his trail name and this joins him to the generations of your people and their history of endurance. You know, even if "little by little we never met again" as Gertrude Stein once said of her brother, I still wanted to come out of the liminal space that is the country of the past after reading this to say the thing which needs to be said: A great narrative of love between a father and son. Thank you.

This one in particular made me so excited for our family "reunion" in a few weeks and to the hopeful anticipation that we'll also get to enjoy more than one type of "pyrogi."<br />Roxrmsfotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476769200735968589noreply@blogger.com
