It reminds us that freedom is not just a story we tell, but a longing we carry, sometimes quietly, sometimes aching to be a longing we carry, sometimes quietly, sometimes aching to be a longing we carry, sometimes quietly, sometimes aching to be heard. Each year we remember leaving heard. Each year we remember leaving heard.
