The Girl with the Cut - out Face
When I was a child, I often looked through a family album. I remember asking my mother why there was a   36   cut out of a photo of a little girl. But it was   37   that my mother did not want to talk about it.
  38   I looked at the album I saw that cut - out face and   39   about it. I figured there was something   40   . When I was grown up and had almost   41   about the photo, my mother must have realized I should know her   42   . She sat me down one day and said, “That cat - up photo is   43   your Aunt Anna.

Did she think that I was an elephant? No, she wanted to run   51   and hide in the trunk of my car. The family that   52   her said that she always wanted to   53  .
The last time I saw Anna she was placed in a smaller old - age facility in Brooklyn.
  54   Aunt Anna, I’m not the least bit ashamed of you. I’m   55   about you now for many to see, with your sweet young face showing under a pretty bow.
And you finally found that escape you were seeking.
