Les Kelloucq en voyage

Memory lane

Doing major cleanup, you are guaranteed to run into some memories. Like this envelope containing the first two teeth Emmanuel lost after he tripped against a stone fountain in school. “Emmanuel lost two teeth!!” says the handwritten message from the school principal. It took me back to her phone call warning me about the accident. I was hundreds of kilometers away from Paris, finishing up a story in the small village of Laguiole at the time. EJ took over and brought Emmanuel to the hospital to have his lip sewn back up. When I returned later in the evening, Emmanuel looked a little worse for the wear, but happy because the doctor had prescribed ice cream to make his lip and mouth feel better. So his day was not a complete waste! Of course, I don't need this reminder because I can see the small scar on his lip everyday.
