My dad has boxes of photographs from parts of his life I only know in pieces. Some are from Korea or Saudi Arabia, some are people I’ve never met, and some are from moments I was actually there for but was way too young to remember.

He’s never really talked much about those years. I’ve asked, of course, but I think sometimes a photograph is easier. There’s something right in front of you to remember from, a person to name, a place to recognize, a story that might not come up otherwise. So I’m going to start sending him one photo at a time and see what comes back. Maybe I get a whole story, maybe I get three words. Either way, I want to keep it.
