Death of a Father

Отрывок из книги

I wish my life could have been lived in pencil with a big eraser.

Mavis came to see Daddy tonight, with Uncle Gene. I reminded her of when we decided to fail the history test because we had never made an “F.” She had forgotten. She said that after two major surgeries she could not remember many things.

Mother and I stopped for milk shakes. I ordered one vanilla cone and one milk shake. Nell, the shop owner, gave me my vanilla cone and two milk shakes…the one I had ordered for Mother and one, she said, for Lad, my father.
