The text of this image is: A LETTER FROM MY FATHER As long as I can remember, my father told me that one day he would write me a very special letter. But he never mentioned what the letter would be about. I used to speculate about what great secret just the two of us would share, what surprise, what intimacy. I knew what I wanted the letter to contain. I hoped he would tell me where he had hidden his affections. But then he died, and the letter never arrived. And I never found that place where he had hidden his love. [Up the side of the image is written: My father, my brother, my mother in 1960]
