I just wondered if you could please cite the provenance of this quote from the late Mr. Beckett. - I mean where you found it? <br />I knew Beckett and it is important to me.<br />Your last blog: hopefully you will be able to hold your sister's baby - think of your sister and William. <br />Holding the baby may help, it could be a beginning of release.<br />thanks for sharingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
