Then you would probably be me.
Nico, girl you make me laugh so hard, so very loudly just now. How humble one can be, how healthy mentally, when one has so much, when one is secure.
On the other hand, so many of our fellow-citizens are so uptight and so inflexible because they're so insecure. I admire your tremendous sense of wellbeing.
I love you. I love too who is responsible for having produced you; only they've helped to produce me too: your mom, your dad, Eunice, Bishop Eldon.
How very interesting for you to have had the hands which built the nation, change you diaper, rock you to sleep, play you lullabies on the piano.
