So fascinating, this interweaving of the personal and the public, all packed into high quality cardboard boxes. Right to the end, I expected to learn that Maman wished to salvage the boxes so as to be ready for the next stage of your family’s migration. But no. The boxes were for insulating the shanties of the three Marys.
Yes, indeed they were~ thank you so much for your kind words, Sarah. I am thrilled to know you are enjoying the journey along with me to remember Maman, and I appreciate your insights.
