The River



Dan Paik left this world six years ago today. 
He has not visited me in any dreams recently, but he and my mom are always with me. In the past several months my mom has had cameo roles in many dreams. 
It just so happens that this essay was published by a wonderful journal last week.

    You are such a beautiful writer, Denise. This was painful and comforting at the same time, and even joyful in places. Bruges. That especially. I took from it that we are not lost to one another in death. Thank you.

It's a weird way to have a conversation. But go ahead. Then I'll find your blog (if you have one) and comment about something there. We probably won't be talking about the same thing--but I've had conversations like that, haven't you?
