Sister Helen was exhasperated by us orphans, when we kept all our belongings clutched tight under the covers of our beds while we slept. I think Father got it, though. He’d lay a hand on her arm, and say quietly, “They’ll learn.”
Of course back then, there’d never been enough time to learn that sometimes, it was okay to let the stuff you treasured loose - that it wouldn’t necessarily disappear or be stolen if you let go.
It wasn’t till years after the war - till Heero came back to me - that the lesson finally, completely sank in.
