Written in 1995:
I have to write the "book" so that my children will know that I was more than birthmarks and madness;
more than stretchmarks and mother-love.
So that when they face the the grandfather clock of their childhood ( I could give them no flesh and blood grandfather) to rewind it, they will not just curse me but love me for my humanness (my jelly-popo) and for my heart of gold and danger.
