Mavis took one end and I the other and together we carefully moved the old bed through the bedroom door and the open balcony doors.We lifted it over the balustrade (扶手) into the hands of family members waiting below. Carrying it under the low Albizia branches, then past the loses, they gently put it down in the middle of the freshly mown lawn.
Chantelle carried out the cotton sheets, the embroidered pillows, and finally the multi-coloured blanket her great-grandmother had knitted for me.
Tonight, on her 90th birthday, my mother wants to sleep out under the stars.

Cope and Meera played together every day. “Race you to the garden !” Meera won. “I’m one step ahead!”
Cope chased Meera around the trees. Then she wept “We’re moving away.” Cope’s heart broke. “I will write to you.”
For years they remembered. Then life pulled them apart. Yet neither one forgot.
“It’s time for you to marry.” Cope’s father said one day, “I have chosen a girl.”
