As I investigate, construct, and tell autobiographic narratives of mothering, of loss, and of hope,
both the process of research and the "story fabric" evolve as both written and visual, an interplay
of image and text. I involve myself in this investigation as I expect that it is in these places of
loss, disability, and dependence that one can find things of great value, perhaps a way of being
with each other, of caring, of sharing of self, and of receiving the other that does not depend on
growth or achievement or on progress in learning. Ted Aoki writes of "face to face living"
(1993, p. 59) of teacher and student. Living, as it were, not at a distance, but face to face and
engaged as we open ourselves to the daily struggles and challenges we bring to our work, our
teachingAearning, and to our research. Autobiographic narrative offers a way in, extends an
invitation to give and to receive.
