I think about how the act of remembering is itself a form of movement—
a shifting, a reaching for something that may no longer be physically present but still exists in some form within me.
the eulogy is not just a remembering of the dead but a call to action—an invitation to carry their memory forward, to make them part of the work.

thank you kayla for being you and doing this in two days i will cherish & love you forever.
