and unknown. I sit in my bed still grappling with the news, as the phone continually rings with my aunts and uncles sharing the known news. It is 11 am and I see my dad pull in the driveway his eyes say it all as he walks sullen, eyes swelling with tears, as he heads to our front porch.

This statement is something I occasionally hear from my brother who has five children, eldest of them is 7, and from my sister who also has five children, of whom the eldest is also 7.

Being an aunt seems to be a favoured position: I get to pick them up from their house, play with them, enjoy tricks with them, and when they start whining for milk or demanding for something I cannot give, or they simply have to be

through it melodies eternally new. At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable. Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine.

shake Dew on the knuckle. I craved strong sweets, but those Seemed strong when I was young; The petal of the rose It was that stung.
