Pictures of her as a young child are more difficult to reconcile with the elderly reality—but then I found a photo that caught a gesture, or something about the twinkle in those eyes that is undeniably her. It’s a reminder that we are more than our physical parts. Mere anatomy and physiology, though incredibly complex, fail to capture or define our character.
