It’s over now. I am sitting in the airport in Little Rock, Arkansas on my way home. The effect of the past couple of weeks on my life has been and will be extraordinary. Just a few weeks ago I wrote of how impossible communication between my world and the world of my parents was. The hometown– the family connections that have been sealed for the past eight years are open to me now. The family sees me off at the airport. Aunt Ann cries when I leave and tells me she loves me. Bill hugs me. Anita kisses me. Rick makes a special effort to see me off. Darrel is there. Bobby. Cathy. Laura Lee. This morning Uncle Lowell comes to the trailer to see me before I leave. He brings Grandpa Waite.
