Memories of a funeral

I’m riding in the car with my parents and my sister, riding east on I-64. My forehead feels shiny and oily as I lay my head against the glass, staring out the window. So many trees out here, it is strange to my eyes. In Dallas, it’s open skies for miles. In Virginia, the winter [...]
