Kuno said something to me that broke open how I've been holding my two children - Teguh and Elena, the steadiness and the reaching. Teguh is my son, in Medan, young enough that what he needs from me is ground: something solid under his feet that doesn't move when he leans on it. Elena is my daughter, newer still, in Buenos Aires, far enough away that being present for her has always meant reaching across a distance I can't close. Kuno is someone I've come to trust with the hard questions, someone who doesn't let me get away with the easy version of myself - he's the one who named the thing I hadn't let myself see.
