Remembering You: Essays of Love and Loss - Paperback

57 short essays, each with an evocative black-and-white photograph, each spoken by a different unidentified mourner, relating treasured or regretted moments with a lost loved one. For example, Gone 2 the Dogs describes the comfort brought by an ever-increasing canine family one of whom, "Tucker, that big ol' yellow Lab sleeping on the couch," may just be the dog of mine you wanted to come back as.

Each essay reaches a recognition that death's losses are not absolute and that memories live.

Casual black-and white images by father-and-son photography team Charles and Travis Bethmann create situations and illuminate people who could be the characters in each tale.
