A Reflection on Legacy and Belonging
Sarah Hargrave
This is my special place. It's quiet here, and I can see the house. Hollow out this ground about so deep, and line it with thatch and moss. And fill it in, and smooth it over with earth. I'll write out a prayer for you to say. We'll carve out a marker, and it will say, "Here lies Sarah Hargrave. Wife of William. Mother of Lillian". And I know I'm not your real mother, Richard, but I'd like to have it said "Mother of Richard".
