And I needed something to give Lillian during her photoshoot, she learned to roll and to get up on her knees so its hard to get her to sit for photos. I thought the box is so pretty that will be perfect to distract her. But she managed to get it opened! The photos actually came out gorgeous. And I think there is something poetic about lillian playing with her sister's ornament.
There's an elephant in the room.
It is large and squatting,
So it is hard to get around it.
Yet we squeeze by with "How are you?" And "I'm Fine."
And a thousand other forms of trivial chatter.
We talk about the weather.
We talk about work.
We talk about everything - except the elephant in the room.
There's an elephant in the room.
We all know it is there.
We are thinking about the elephant as we talk together.
It is constantly on our minds.
For you see, it is a very big elephant.
It has hurt us all.
But we do not talk about the elephant in the room.
Oh, please say her name.
Oh, please, say "Barbara" again.
Oh, please, let's talk about the elephant in the room.
For if we talk about her death,
Perhaps we can talk about her life?
Can I say, "Barbara" to you and not have you look away?
For if I cannot, then you are leaving me
Alone...
In a room...
With an elephant...
