She
was
muttering
to
herself
now
,
and
I
sat
down
at
the
kitchen
table
.
I
would
wait
until
she
came
out
of
it
,
until
she
recognized
me
and
understood
who
I
was
.
I
couldn
t
leave
until
she
knew
that
I
was
her
Charlie
.
Some
­
body
had
to
understand
.
She
had
started
humming
sadly
to
herself
,
but
she
stopped
,
her
rag
poised
midway
between
the
bucket
and
the
floor
,
as
if
suddenly
aware
of
my
presence
behind
her
.
She
turned
,
her
face
tired
and
her
eyes
glistening
,
and
cocked
her
head
.
"
How
could
it
be
?
I
don
t
understand
.
They
told
me
you
could
never
be
changed
.

They
performed
an
operation
on
me
,
and
that
changed
me
.
I
m
famous
now
.
They
ve
heard
of
me
all
over
the
world
.
I
m
intelligent
now
,
Mom
.
I
can
read
and
write
,
and
I
can
"
"
Thank
God
,
"
she
whispered
.
"
My
prayers
all
these
years
I
thought
He
didn
t
hear
me
,
but
He
was
listening
all
the
time
,
just
waiting
His
own
good
time
to
do
His
will
.
"
She
wiped
her
face
in
her
apron
,
and
when
I
put
my
arm
around
her
,
she
wept
freely
on
my
shoulder
.
All
the
pain
was
washed
away
,
and
I
was
glad
I
had
come
.

"
I
ve
got
to
tell
everyone
,
"
she
said
,
smiling
,
"
all
those
teachers
at
the
school
.
Oh
,
wait
till
you
see
their
faces
when
I
tell
them
.
And
the
neighbors
.
And
Uncle
Her
­
man
I
ve
got
to
tell
Uncle
Herman
.
He
ll
be
so
pleased
.
And
wait
until
your
father
comes
home
,
and
your
sister
!
Oh
,
she
ll
be
so
happy
to
see
you
.
You
have
no
idea
.
"
She
hugged
me
,
talking
excitedly
,
making
plans
for
the
new
life
we
were
going
to
have
together
.
I
hadn
t
the
heart
to
remind
her
that
most
of
my
childhood
teachers
were
gone
from
this
school
,
that
the
neighbors
had
long
moved
away
,
that
Uncle
Herman
had
died
many
years
ago
,
and
that
my
father
had
left
her
.
The
nightmare
of
all
those
years
had
been
pain
enough
.
I
wanted
to
see
her
smiling
and
know
I
had
been
the
one
to
make
her
happy
.
For
the
first
time
in
my
life
,
I
had
brought
a
smile
to
her
lips
.
Then
after
a
while
,
she
paused
thoughtfully
as
if
re
­
membering
something
.
I
had
the
feeling
her
mind
was
going
to
wander
.
"
No
!
"
I
shouted
,
startling
her
back
to
re
­
ality
,
"
Wait
,
Ma
!
There
s
something
else
.
Something
I
want
you
to
have
before
I
go
.
"
