"Still thinking."
What a serious one! The firmness of her fingers marks her as quite unlike other children I have known; she seems more like an adult in her faculties.
"Tell me," she writes. "Tell me about you."
My story? Everything? Heaven knows there are parts not suitable for a child. But maybe I could try, invoking the voices of others to join in, since much of the last fifty years is still a mystery to me. I fear this is my last season, so I will try. Yes. For Helen.
