![]() ![]() Id come to see the heavens, our father always said. Our parents met at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona at a high school summer science camp. But I dont remember her fully, not the way Lowell does. I remember her sharply - her smell and touch, scattered images of her face, her ears, her chin, her eyes. Though I was only five when she disappeared from my life, I do remember her. Even now, way off in 2012, I cant abide someone else bringing her up. Not mentioning Fern was first a decision, and later a habit, hard and painful even now to break. ![]() If anyone asked about my family, I admitted to two parents, still married, and one brother, older, who traveled a lot. Back in those college days I never spoke of her and seldom thought of her. As part of leaving Bloomington for college and my brand new start, Id made a careful decision to never ever tell anyone about my sister, Fern. ![]()
