Honoring the life and struggle of Mother of Plaza de Mayo Lidia Stella Mercedes “Taty” Almeida, who passed away on Sunday at 95, feels akin to trying to capture the universe in a single water drop.
How do you depict unwavering courage and grace? How do you accurately convey absolute horror?
Perhaps the only way to start is to place a hand on your chest, remember her, and take it from there. And tonight, that space feels empty and broken.
Taty was an example of what endless love can accomplish in the face of unspeakable atrocities. History books retell her ordeal through facts that can sound almost impossible to rationally understand or emotionally bear.
