Ata mala kholit basun burbinine tila baghane patnat navte mala sarva kahi jalun bghayache hote.

Maze kapde pan hirva t shirt ani jeans asa hota. Ata me tyana chatkan disnar navto. Barobar mazi durbi hotich.Ekde mavshi pan lugda cholit tayar zali hoti. Sakalche pavne daha vajle hote. Me ti khotun baher padtana pahat hoto.. We've had a whole mess 'a sheriffs and deputies come 'n go here in Sunset and mostly, none 'a them ain't never really tried.'Cain't blame 'em much. Jes' puttin' a tin star on a feller ain't never gonna stop flyin' lead, and we knowed — all of us — that if you mess with them Bickles, you gonna soon be deader'n Lazarus after Jesus left town.So, every bless'ed Saturday, them boys come ridin' in at daybreak to tear up our town. They stay all day and into the night, with no kind a' law to slow 'em. So I’d never really had the opportunity to talk to a grown woman for more than a minute or two. I had talked to girls in the shelter, but even then it was usually only for five or ten minutes at most. The women (and kids) who came to the shelter did not, as a rule, trust men very much. I should have said they didn’t trust ‘males’ very much. A lot of moms, when they saw their daughters talking to me, called them away and told them not to talk to me in the future. Another boy might have taken it. Only after we started in our new lifestyle did I realize that I'd told you things that were wrong. I never intended to hurt you, or to stunt your development as a woman. Please look at the items your father and I have saved for you and I hope you'll come to understand what we both mean in these letters. We both love you very much, Cathy.Momma"Catherine sat there holding the letters from both parents. She read and re-read each a couple of times, trying to guess at what they were trying to tell.
