I visit LaLa. She’s old. I’m old. Godlight, sunlight, joylight, flies from my Aunt LaLa. I give her a gift of a wooden birdhouse, florally decorated, with a fake bird and silk, yellow flowers. This old lady smiles at me as she directs me to put the birdhouse on the fireplace mantel.
“I’m going to call it my Jeannebird,” she said.
