The author shares her experience of what she recollects the day that she lost her husband (their son's Dad); "When Dad Disappeared" and how she and her son continued to push on. As a young child, it was very difficult for Maceo to understand the meaning and concept of death. Having to explain on a child's level of understanding, sharing, and keeping the memories alive helps Maceo to know who his Dad was, how much he loved him, and understand how he disappeared.
