What's Said About It —
"Mick Blackistone’s Remembering You is a book of the human spirit and the capacity of love to connect us to our past. It embodies death as a powerful, and yet subtle, force that touches us in an ironically positive way that truly helps mold us into who we are and who we become. Having served in parish ministry for over 35 years, I am able identify with much of Remembering You. This book has is enabled me to better articulate and cope with many of my own losses and those of others. It is clearly one of the most insightful readings I have enjoyed in many years. Remembering You touched my heart in a most profound way!"

"This is a truly lovely book. Readers, prepare yourselves for it by sitting quietly. Do so in a space that will allow you to deeply experience each connection, each portrait, that Remembering You and Mick Blackistone present. lf you do, you may be able to renew your own deep, unspoken, often unacknowledged connection to a dear one who is now gone. And you may recognize…for the first time… the real gift and the real wisdom of that relationship. I did! Now I am able to recall, to feel again the enduring link co my loved ones. And, the photographs will take you on their own magical journey!

"Remembering You gently calls us to re-member those dismembered parts of ourselves when a loved one dies. We often talk of death as “losing” my dad, my mom, my child, my sister or brother, my friend. Do I suddenly lose or stop being a son or daughter? If my child dies, am I no longer a parent? (Oh, the horrible question, "How many children do you have?") 
Mick Blackistone's intimate prose and poetry gently guides us into personal stories of losing and finding, of woundings and healings, of both letting go and remembering within. Charles and Travis Bethmann's father/son-team photographs transport us into those timeless experiences through snapshot moments in time. Together Mick, with Charles and Travis, take the reader into searching, finding, and voicing one's own expressions of ... Remembering You.

"This is a lovely memory book. Stories really are “who we are,” and Mick Blackistone shares his stories and himself in a powerful and moving way in this delightful book. He helps take the sting out of each of the deaths of loved ones in a way that would be helpful to those who arc grieving or facing a loss. I am the current rector of the "small country church" where many members of Mick's family now rest in peace. It is no longer "surrounded by tobacco fields," not often "filled to overflowing." but is a testimony to the very essence of that which Mick writes. Our help in times of need comes to us easily when we "go to church, take the kids… sit next to” someone we love in the pew every Sunday! Don’t miss the comfort and strength that can be found in the thoughts and photographs."
