    Fern Schumer Chapman quote. The past is a presence between us. In all my mother does and says, the past continually discloses itself in the smallest ways. She sees it directly; I see its shadow. Still, it pulses in my fingertips, feeds on my consciousness. It is a backdrop for each act, each drama of our lives. I have absorbed a sense of what she has suffered, what she has lost, even what her mother endured and handed down. It is my emotional gene map

    Fern Schumer Chapman quote. The living take a part of the dead with them, carrying them around in their minds, like a song that lingers after the music has been turned off
