A Christmas Memory, One Christmas, & The Thanksgiving Visitor by Truman Capote
5.0
She wanted to know what I’d wished.
"That you’re still my friend.”
"Dumbhead,” she said, and hugged me.
"Forever?”
“I won’t be here forever, Buddy. Nor will you.” Her voice sank like the sun on the pasture’s horizon, was silent a second and then climbed with the strength of a new sun. “But yes, forever. The Lord willing, you’ll be here long after I’ve gone. And as long as you remember me, then we’ll always be together.”
To me, Truman Capote has this ability to write something that's quite ordinary with beautiful heartwarming sentences that touches his reader's heart delicately. This is just a story about the friendship of an elderly woman and a boy, but I love it so much. And I almost can't believe that this is the true stories of Truman's childhood, because it's too good to be true T__T I love the moral lessons, I love the characters, I wish there are more stories of Miss Sook & Buddy.
