He didn’t come in knowing what he wanted
He came in knowing what he’d been through
That’s all I needed
We spent an hour together
He talked — about his faith, his family, his children, the temptations he’d faced and made it through, the foundation he inherited and the one he’s building now
About being proud of who he is and the life he chose
I wrote down everything that mattered
Every phrase that landed
Every image that surfaced in how he described his own story
Then I went away and built this
The broken staircase — the foundation laid for him, and the chance to keep building from it
The heart — love for his own life, and for his family
The dove — salvation
The reaching hand releasing it — freedom chosen over temptation
The broken sword — the end of conflict. Peace. Resolution.
Three flowers — His children
The clock — ‘live this life while you have time’
Every element earned its place
Nothing is decorative
This is what Don’t Forget to Live produces
A story told in skin
