About this listen

Through a series of recollections and bittersweet memories, Audrey Jordan recalls vivid details of her son’s life — fragments of his war experience from old letters, his childhood, his dream of sailing down the Mexican coast, and more — while sitting through his funeral service with family. As the eulogy progresses, she grapples with grief, acceptance and the impact of her loss. Afterwards, facing loneliness, she resolves to keep those memories alive for her son's family.
