Dearest Pat,
Let me wish you all the best to your approaching birthday. I hope you’ll feel a bit or much better that day and even the weather will be friendly with you and you may spend more time in your garden.
I’m always happy to see you in person and speak to you being in Barcs. These are just moments in our lives, nevertheless I cannot express how I do appreciate that you took me up as a good friend during last years.
Listening to you this time you seemed to me a bit more removed than usual, brooding in the past, remembering old stories from your life, not realizing the present, or when back to present you seemed to me as though you have just arrived from somewhere far away and if so only for a couple of seconds just to be able to listen to my questions, giving short answers and driving away again.
It is said that getting older you much better remember faces from the very past, happenings of old days. It may be true, but not for me. Unfortunately I even forget what happened last week, not to speak about my childhood or youth. If you’d ask me with what is full my head not letting the past get in the way it ought to be, I couldn’t answer to you properly. Perhaps that is why I tried and try to write my blogue in that extent and continuously first about the lives of my grandma and my mum both from Armenia and later, as the original interview with my mum neared to its end I put more and more stories, happenings out of my personal life and took more strange materials from friends over. It is how some relatives, friends got into the blogue named Ararat after the famous mountain of Turks and Armenian, or gatherings with friends, which have touched me more deeply or programs, books, films, poems, anything I wanted to have the world know about. I have a small bunch of people who read me and try to keep paces with me. It’s really a good feeling that this way, thank to the blogue, a written form of a personal history the past doesn’t vanish out of my life. You may consider yourself lucky that you’ve so to say a living past and you can tell anything from your life when you’re asked or even without any asking. It’s a pity that your co-fellows in the pension-house do not realise how rich and colourful your life is and was, what kind a person you are. Having this language barrier they feel free not to talk to you in the way we usually talk to each other.
I’d wish you to have around for still uncountable years, to see you, to listen to you, to chat and to have many good healthy laughs with you. Please do take care of yourself, do not rush anywhere, the flowers, birds can wait.
I love you very much.
With much love and many kind hugs,
XXX
your true friend, Anna
