\"Lady<\/a>1881, Sussex<\/p>\n

A recurring theme of my childhood memories was drawing or reading quietly while Michael embarked on his fifth or sixth tantrum of the day. And yet I, a year and a half older than Michael, was always called Baby.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“they\u2019re easier to see than the way writing usually looks. The letters don\u2019t move around.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cLetters move around?\u201d I looked curiously at my brother. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey do for me. They wiggle and slip away when I try to look at them. But this writing is in a picture, so the picture holds it steady for me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To my surprise, I encountered the direct glare of his very beautiful blue eyes. It was almost unheard-of for Michael to look anyone directly in the eye, with the exception of his children.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s why deepest mourning should be carried out with the mirrors covered, you know. You\u2019re not supposed to be looking at yourself and considering who you are.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My husband\u2019s grave was still only distinguished by a temporary marker. The ground had settled almost to the point where the large monument I\u2019d ordered could be installed, but the stonemason was a cautious man and preferred to wait another month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
