Dear Johnny. The last word
my mother ever said to me was "love." She was so sick
and weak and out of her head that she couldn't muster
the "I" or the "you." That didn't matter. That puny word
has the power to stand on its own. I wasn't with my mom when she died. No one was. And even now, that fact haunts me. I would never be with my mom
when she died. I suppose you think this has nothing
to do with your question, Johnny, but it has everything
to do with my answer. It has everything to do with every answer
I have ever given as Sugar. Love. Love. Love. It clanks inside me like an iron bell. Love is Sugar's genesis story
