Eddie

In 2019, I began to realize that I spoke French and Italian
and Hebrew. I am becoming quite fluent at it these days.
When I was 6 years old I was hurt. And at school without
the school telling my family, the school had Highschool students
come in and teach us foreign languages. Eddie was my Tutor and neighbor.
We kept these things to ourselves. It was easier. When I finally confided
with my family at age forty that Eddie and I were friends I was told that we
weren’t. I thought that might have been true.
Language has always been a problem for me. And I had
no one else to talk to. Eddie and I were best friends.
And he was my tutor.
