Wade wrote once, in an essay for a Latin exam, "The modern hero is a person who does something everyone thinks they could do it if they were a little stronger, a little faster, a little smarter, or a little more generous. Heroes in ancient time were the link between man and perfect beings, gods. Heroes in modern times are the link between man as he is and man as he could be."

I think of them often: my parents and my brothers and sisters, all departed now save for Jean and myself. And each alove and vibrant in my memory. I remember how each of us, distinct and autonomous from one another though we were, melded wholeheartedly into a family, a self-contained universe of love and deepest truths that could not be comprehended by the outside world.
