My youth is a puzzle, missing bits and pieces, fragmented memories of family. Piecemeal, faded recollections. I recall some brief moments spent in happiness, and yet, a veil of fear shadows the rest. I don't remember any suppressed stuff, those blank gaps mark my memories as incomplete. Can time complete a puzzle with a jumble of missing pieces? Dad lost pieces; fighting a war.

Congratulations on your Win, Emile. It's not so much of a cause to celebrate, to know your Dad was badly injured in war. That would have impacted your childhood significantly, even if he did his best not to let it. I admire your skill as a writer. Your ability to change form, chameleon entirely convincing is an excellent asset.
