Almost thirteen years ago, after my sister Marian’s death, I found a box of letters from my dad, Louis, to his new wife, Rosy, in her possessions. They reveal Louis’s deep affection for my mother (which was to become less obvious/more complicated in the years from my adolescence through adulthood), and a touching self-awareness bordering on self-pity. I began the series on Google’s Blogger, but am planning to continue it here after making the transition for the existing content. Watch for more in the months to come.
