Kim’s mother and sister honor the ten-year anniversary of Kim’s father’s death. Nine-year-old Kim never knew her father. She took a thermos of water, some dried lima beans, and a spoon and walked to a vacant, trash-filled lot next to the apartment building in which she lived. Because Kim’s father had been a farmer, she believed that he would watch the seeds grow into plants and would know that she was his daughter.
