I have no secrets. That's been both my strong point and my weak point throughout my life. In the early days of email, my kids used to call me Mrs. RTA (Reply to All). They still don’t trust me. Fortunately, I spent most of my business life in public relations and marketing, where keeping secrets wasn't required. I have only kept one secret throughout my life, and I still remember what it was because it was so singular. Even that secret was not kept totally, because I revealed it to my daughters. The actual possessor of the secret, the person who asked me to keep it, is dead, as are all the original actors. But the descendants are still involved, so it goes to my grave with me.
That surely was a generation of keeping secrets. I was always questioning why?? And was swiftly punished for even asking for an explanation of why was it a secret. Thank you Francine for writing about the “secrets” and the ambiguity of it all.
Love your writing! Keep doing it.

You had it easy, he died in front of me! I was always told he had heart disease, it was the reason we never played ball together.
