    So Long, My Son

    ★★★★★

    People carry the grief of loss like we carry our limbs, it’s fused not only to our body, but to our mind. We go on, and keep going. We eat, we work, we fuck, and so on. Time reshapes our pain into something we can live with. Sometimes, without thinking, we set the table for them, lay out the extra plate, pull out the chair they usually sit in. Then we realise, and quietly take their plate away, pushing the chair back in. We learn to make their absence part of our routine.
