I'm writing a letter to my godmother Mutz, who's always been an important person in my life. She used to arrive with laundry baskets full of books for me from the library, where she was the librarian. She let me read disappear into the stacks, arrange three stools in a row and laze around reading all comics available (considered inappropriate

Wonderful memories, Esther. Is it possible for you to reach her by telephone or a recording? Thinking of you. x

I'm sorry. The letter sounds like it would mean a lot to her. You have such a vivid way with words, you would make the memories - and your experience of them - come alive. I think people often don't realise the impact they have on others, especially on children.

She sounds wonderful. I hope she believes it when you tell her what a difference she made.

I'm sure she does know, but it's good to tell her anyway.

The letter is such a nice idea - I'm sure she will treasure it and your writing it will help you solidify pictures in your mind.
