Anna writes of her past and of Joyce

Dear Seymour,

thank you for all the nice texts written by friends and family about Joyce. I am thinking about her a lot these days and I am working on finishing some short memories dedicated to her, too. I have promised to myself to do it until the end of the year, which is not easy because in a foreign language. What I read really gives me the currage to try to finish it. And once more I have to thank you for the photograph of Joyce as a young lady, I really wanted to ask her to show me how she looked when she was younger, I wanted to ask you also. Each woman as an tree has to change radicaly when going older, but just some of them keep the energy and strenght. Joyce for sure was one from them. She was so beautiful outside and inside, too.

I am reading often some of the books she gave me, and for sure each time I more and more apriciate her taste and undarstand the reasons why she gave me this or that book. She was "the reader" and I really regret I cannot share my new impressions with her. There is so many things I would like to share with her, so many places, some nice people to introduce to her. Sometimes it seems to me that women live in a permanent inner dialogue with somebody or something, for me very often it is Joce that person I am talking with.

Dear Seymour, I hope you will come to Prague with your family, you are cordially welcome and you can stay in flat of my uncle which is in the centre.

Please give my greetings to your family and to friends I know, i wish you the nice Christmass time and good year 2009.

I am happy we are still in touch. And of course I will send the text about Joyce soon with the request to correct it.

Cordially Anna
