I had to take some time to comment on this one.

"I am afraid that if I don’t keep their names in my head, I will forget their faces. I’m a terrible son. It has been so long and I can’t remember my mother’s face."

This line got me, the emotion and tragic idea of forgetting a loved one’s face is a turmoil no one ever wants to think about.

Thank you for telling me. Yeah, this is it, right? A tug at the heart. It is why we read.
