We’ve come a long, long way,
if I am right…
You painted the railroad tracks from my early childhood on Grove Street in Bridgeport, and so much more
You painted them with a red rose, from the movie
The Red Shoes, that changed my life
You spoke eloquently about your childhood and the air raid drills, and helped me to recall and heal,
You’ve told the truth about what was happening to me, the nightingale, when everyone around me was telling lies…
Harsh and vicious though it seems,
it is far preferable to the deadly silence,
And so, I can say, without rancor
I appreciate what you are doing…
May you have the very best of days…
