![]() ![]() One day, the kids, my daughter and my sister's wanted to go and ask Bob if they could draw on his driveway. ![]() ![]() Over the course of that spring and summer, Bob sat on that bench-more often than not: weeping. He waved back, then covered his hands with his eyes and wept. Bob opened his garage and pushed out the special bench. That spring, we took the boys out on a warm day. All the while, I kept thinking: she's still too young. All the while, my daughter asked questions, saw what was going on in her world, grew in her understanding of the seasons, and her wanting to engage and help with the life we were in. On that very first day, we started the waving game. We saw, from the very first day we visited the house, an old man and woman sitting on a bench they've refashioned from the back of a car, looking at us from their driveway. We moved into the house with our young daughter and my belly "round as a melon" with my twin sons. In 2015, my husband and I moved into a green house with big windows. Can you tell us the story behind A Map into the World?Ī Map Into the World is inspired by real life events and actual people. ![]()
