“That one, please,” I said, pointing to it. He reached down, plucked it from among the others, and handed it to me. A few months later, before my 8th birthday, he died. Even now, when I look at that colorful watercolor, I remember that he saw me, a child, as someone old enough to value and take care of one of his paintings. |
