They share a house with one another, along with various other relatives, and have a precious bond due to the fact that Miss Sook, despite her age, is like a child herself. Now, with supper finished, we retire to the room in a faraway part of the house where my friend sleeps in a scrap-quilt-covered iron bed painted rose pink, her favorite color. My wife and I moved into her home to be her caregivers.
We are each other's best friend. Our hearts embrace Buddy and Sookie. One, a 60ish, rather childlike distant cousin, is his best, and only, friend, as he is hers. I was in love with Truman Capote and his writing, and I was shaken to the core-- I'd never been exposed to writing this. Finalul cărții a fost unul trist, cartea devenind instant una dintre acelea care te atinge la suflet și te face să suspini în liniște cu gândul la bunătatea pe care o oferă unele persoane în ciuda traiului lor. Here is how Capote introduces the relationship between the woman and the boy: I am seven; she is sixty-something.
I was there when you were born. Buddy and his cousin fly kites. The buggy is mine; that is, it was bought for me when I was born. She loves poetry, she's a prolific reader, she loves art. One way the author shows the time period is through the conflicts the characters face.

A great black stove is its main feature; but there is also a big round table and a fireplace with two rocking chairs placed in front of it.

Buddy and the old lady cut down the best Christmas tree. Soon, by the edge of knee-deep, rapid-running water, we have to abandon the buggy. Add the floured fruits and nuts, spices, seasoning, and flavorings. There is still the faint smell of the typesetter's ink. As Buddy says later: And when that happens, I know it.
A coming of winter morning more than twenty years ago. Oh, the carnage of August: the flies that flew to heaven! After my wife read these thoughts, she pointed out the importance of marking the time of thoughts in connection with the events of our lives. Their innocence is charming and their love for each other is sweet. It's my favorite Christmas tradition - every Christmas Eve, when I finally retire, I take my worn copy of Capote's A Christmas Memory, snuggle into bed, and transport to a different time. But what is happy can't be as beautiful without what is sad and it is all part of the memory. As for me, I could leave the world with today in my eyes. Christmas Eve afternoon we scrape together a nickel and go to the butcher's to buy Queenie's traditional gift, a good gnawable beef bone.
