A year after the photograph changed my life, Hannah and I sat together at a preschool performance.

Elias played a train conductor in a paper hat.

Rose wore butterfly wings and insisted on standing in the front row of the class song.

The folding chairs were uncomfortable.

The auditorium was warm, crowded, and noisy.

I had given up a meeting with an overseas investor to be there, and I did not once think about the lost opportunity.

At the end, the children ran toward Hannah first.
