Those first attentions that we took for granted as our due filled the blue waters of our nursery lagoon, attuning each in confidence and self-respect for the next phases in life's crucial strides. Widely scattered as we find ourselves to be, we deal you visits - as if to a memory location, spatially impressed, and treated spicily with affection and respect, without the bonding of constant return. I burn with shame that your plea for unstinting integration on the outer fringe of our grand family - reward expected for eclipse of ego- trips more personal - left you bereft of company.      No matter what the coin, I am afraid      our debt to you will never be repaid.
