AS she walks across the park, a breeze tangles the birthday balloons. Her husband ties them down by the gazebo while, from her tote, she sets up a shrine: Her son’s high school diploma, with the valedictorian seal. The rosary he brought her from Hawaii. The scrapbook someone made after his funeral.

While her husband gives her space on this gray Sunday at Folly Farm Nature Preserve in Tampa Bay, Florida in the United States, Laura McCullough pages through memories: Devon scuba diving. Devon skydiving. Devon at the beach, bathed in sunset.
