The back of Vera’s denim jacket, where I wrote out my whole plan for the year. Month by month down the denim, January to June and on, every goal and deadline I meant to hit, written straight onto the jacket she gave me so I would have to look at it.
She gave me the jacket before she died, and turning it into a to-do list for 2015 was a way of taking her along. A hard year to start, planned out on the back of a coat that had been hers, so that getting through it and doing the work were the same thing.
