In my father's glove
In my single digits, I remember laying in bed at night and wondering how I would manage life without my parents. After all, they were older than most of my friend's parents, and in a big way it seemed unfair that I might lose them so early in my life.
I will always have much of what they were inside me even though they are gone. I still hear my mom coughing over her morning cigarette and Nescafe instant coffee and I remember the safety of hearing my dad snoring at 4am. Everything changes.

(hmm embedding doesn't work in comments? This is a link to Michelle Kwan's performance to this song in 1997 - I'm a figure skater, and a huge Tori fan, skaters NEVER skate to her music so this meant a lot to me at the time):
