‘We had found devotion we had forgotten was there for us’

Our podcast today is ‘From A Distance’ by Alexis Keir. Alexis came to the project with a story he had written as part of the Spread The Word ‘London Writers Awards’ programme. The piece is a tribute to his mother, Lenore, and describes a touching meal he had with his mothers’ friends when he, his Father and his son were invited to join their Sunday Lunch in Luton shortly after his Mother had passed away. It explores the importance of community, not just in a time of loss, but as an opportunity to listen and learn from the stories of the elders.

An introduction to the We've Chosen Here podcasts. These podcasts will be released once a day from 7th June 2020.
