The Distance in the Family

15 min

Family distance can hold love, relief, grief and inheritance all at once. At the stove, an unwritten recipe and familiar gestures reveal how relatives remain in the body, even when you no longer speak. Nothing is solved or reconciled; the distance is simply witnessed, while what they gave you is allowed to belong in your kitchen now.
