I had come to observe them, and they delighted in observing me.
I never knew what they really thought of me, but I did know that they thought I was rich. I went on airplanes to visit my parents in Florida and had just spent five months in Italy. Eli especially was curious about my childhood in New York and my life in California. I tried to describe what it had been like growing up in an apartment on the tenth floor of a large building in New York City. Did the life I led make any sense to them?
The first question every woman asked was, “Do you have children? Do they live near you?” Most never ventured beyond those two questions. They listened to what I had to say and thought carefully about it. I could buy things and I could travel. But they had the things they valued, family closeness, a community that cared and shared. As an outsider, I helped them to test and then to reaffirm their faith in their values.
