Highlighting
I did not have time to mourn my grandmother well, to get used to her death, to accept her absence, because in the month of her death, high school classes began and I had to prepare myself for the academic challenge that was about to begin. Also, because overnight, due to my grandmother's death and by my mother's orders, my sisters and I had to assume responsibilities in the house. All the things my grandmother had done all her life, in her absence, would be done by us.
Curator's comment :
With exceptionally vivid poignancy, nancybriti1, illustrates the desperate circumstance that followed the death of her grandmother. It's not the first time that N has shared just how much her grandmother's death affected their family, but it's the first time she demos the raw pain with so much heartbreaking precision.
Highlighting
Water is an element that is in motion, and although it is colorless, in the seas it looks blue and is the color that represents it. With these two characteristics, I set out to make the costume.
Curator's comment :
popurri writes a lovely creative nonfiction story about the time she made a "water costume" for her six year-old daughter to wear to school for carnival. The class was studying a nature theme, and each child was to dress in a particular costume for the event. Popurri agreed to dress her daughter as "water" which was a creative challenge. But she came up with a way to do it. Unfortunately, on the day of carnival, the costume came apart in the heat and with other children stepping on the colorful flowing strips that represented water. So her daughter was quite upset when she arrived to pick her up. But ultimately they had a laugh about it all when she told her dad and brother about it back home.
Meaning:
A perfect affiliation. A relationship that the angels are smiling down on.
