"We follow the lead of Disability Justice writer-educator Mia Mingus, who reminds us on her blog: 'We must leave evidence. Evidence that we were here, that we existed, that we survived and loved and ached. Evidence of the wholeness we never felt and the immense sense of fullness we gave to each other. Evidence of who we were, who we thought we were, who we never should have been. Evidence for each other that there are other ways to live-- past survival; past isolation.'"
