The message was short: “Jason (Lang’s 17 year old son) has been shot.” As Lang would later share: “I didn’t ask any questions. I didn’t need to. I knew it was serious.” It was, in fact, very serious. Jason subsequently died from his wounds.

She pockets so many that the pocket of her red calico dress tears off. Fortunately, ma is able to mend the dress. I loved that image. The pretty pebbles and the competent mother.
