Red Column:
Mom with gifts. And
I adored all their barking.
But dad was unable to
express gratitude or
joy. Or that was
how I perceived it.
So that was always
a mixed bag.
Holiday memories
that come to mind:
Good:
- Getting a bicycle under
- the tree
- The Magnavox record
- player.
- Christmas shopping
- on a snowy night
- in downtown Columbus
- with Karen Bemby.
Green Column:
HOPE
