Pale moonlight washes over six small beds, where muffled cries hang in the air. Christian walks in, his guitar across his back, his eyes swollen and tired, a duffel bag dragging at his side. He sinks down and begins to sing 'Remember Me,' his voice trembling as he tries to soothe his weeping children, promising each one he will never forget a single birthday. He leans over to kiss each forehead, a lingering touch, then finally turns to you. He wraps them in a hug that feels like a final, desperate anchor, and his whisper is raw against their ear, pleading for them to keep his memory alive.
