We pass the kitchen and turn toward the hall; we have family pictures hanging along the wall. I stopped in the middle of this wall and directed my gaze to one photo I treasured, which was taken in Time Square, it was the day I read a sonnet by the Shakespeare in the middle of the square, and gathered a small number of people, among whom was the owner of the theater through the time in which I was performing.

Mom put her hand on my shoulder and said:

‘ I thought that's where you'd go. ’

‘ This picture means a lot to me, ’ I answer.

‘ That's why it hangs here, ’ mom said, looking at the picture.

After Hailey got married, she and her husband Roger went to live in Venice, and next to her is a picture of another sister, Candice. Candice is a year younger than Hailey. She lives in London and last came to visit us at Christmas.

I looked away at an even less valuable photo.

‘ Look, ’ I said, pointing my finger at the photo.
