One morning, Clara found a small twig caught near the wheel and removed it while taking something to the outdoor bin.

She had not planned to touch the wheelbarrow.

Afterward, she stood with the twig in her hand and realized the act had been less difficult than she feared.

Then she felt guilty for finding it easier.

The memory was important.

Did allowing the object to become ordinary mean she was forgetting what Chloe had done?

She brought the question to one of the people supporting the family.

“You don’t need to keep every object frightening to remember,” the woman said.
