Sara: You are so brave, I tell her, and then I smile. When I grow up, I want to be just like you. To my surprise, Kate shakes her head hard. Her voice is a feather, a thread. No Mommy, she says. You'd be sick.

Memories are like a still life painted by ten different student artists: some will be blue-based others red some will be as stark as Picasso and others as rich as Rembrandt some will be foreshortened and others distant.
