The People I Carry. This item is unavailable.The People I Carry

We are all shaped by the people we love, the ones we lose, and the moments that change us forever. In this heartfelt collection, Henry D. Parrish Jr. writes letters to those who left lasting imprints on his life—family, friends, teachers, chosen family, and even the forces of fear, resilience, and love. Some letters are filled with gratitude, some with forgiveness, and others with the simple acknowledgment that presence, even fleeting, matters. Alongside reflections on hardship and healing, Parrish also celebrates joy, laughter, music, and the unconditional love of pets. Reminders that life, even in its heaviest seasons, is carried by moments of light. Part memoir, part meditation, The People I Carry invites readers to reflect on their own journeys and the connections that have shaped them. It is a testament to resilience, to the power of memory, and to the truth that we are never walking alone.
