Like you, I have come away more often with knowing the memories are flawed, imperfect, but there is a place of good enough. I search for the common thread that holds the memory/event together and brings the story to life. I ask what if this story never gets told, is it important? What if I tell only parts of the story, will it change reader perspective or interpretation of the facts? <br />Thank you for sharing that it is okay to have imperfect stories as long as you have done everything within your power to collect the truth. Knowing when you have done all you can do to find the truth is the hard part for me.Jewel Samplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625224005924084809noreply@blogger.com
