Confidences

My Mom and her friend engaged in a chat at a picnic table. Someone took a snapshot of the conversation. Mom appears to be listening, sympathetically, to a confidence. The friend sent the photo to Mom and wrote on the back (in Lithuanian) simply, "Do you remember?"

Mom now does not recall the substance of the conversation.

Brooklyn, New York, Summer 1953. My Mom, on the left, and her friend share a private moment.
