Oh, I don't know why your father put this picture in the
book. I told him many times to take it out, this picture doesn't look
nice. Why take a picture of me in a nightgown, my hair all messy like
that? Your father said it was his favorite picture. "Winnie and the sunshine
wake up together," he used to say. Every morning when I woke up, he was
already awake, looking at me, telling me that. There was a song he sang
to me. "Your Are My Sunshine." He sang it many times, every morning. [Your father] loved me with a true heart. Do you know why? When I went to live with him, from the beginning he never forced me. He did not demand anything. He was gentle. He knew I was scared of sex. So for the first few nights he kissed my forehead, he smoothed my hair, he talked to me, told me he loved me so many times, until I felt I was floating happily in a dream. And a week later, I told him I was ready. I was willing ot make the sacrifice to make him happy as well...And I closed my eyes, waiting for the shameful feelings to begin. But he did not jump on top of me right away. Instead, he did what he had always done. He kissed my hands, my cheeks, my forehead. He did not stop stroking my back, until I forgot all my fears, until I was again floating in a dream. And suddenly I recognized what he was doing, only it was not the same, but a completely different feeling. And I opened my eyes. I cried with joy to see his face, his face watching mine. And he was crying too, the same joy. And afterward he kept his arms aroudn me, afraid to let me go. So that's why your father liked this picture. In the morning I was still there. I was his sunshine. ~The Kitchen
