I wanted to bring you into a personal conversation between my mother and I about Skye, the disappearance, and what everything else looks like on the periphery. 

It meanders through our disjointed memories, stalls on opinions, and drowns in our feelings. 

This is the first chapter in a 3 hour long conversation, pared down into more digestible episodes and edited minimally as to not disrupt the flow. 

This is your invitation inside.
