This is the beginning of my healing. March 25, 2015. When I was ten, I would wait for the paper to be thrown on my front lawn. The paperboy came about four o'clock. Now that I look back he probably got home from school and had a snack then started his paper route. I was a fifth grader and sometimes did homework but mostly finished it at school. I always got a snack then played outside. The Visalia Times Delta was folded in a neat little package that looked a little like the diapers i folded for my baby sister. The warm diapers just our of the dryer was a job that I liked doing. I did not like trimming weeds and grass with those things that made my hand hurt and my sinuses throb. The long ones you had to fold a different way than the square ones. It was a geometrical puzzle. I have never seen a paper folded uniquely like that paper since. It landed in the middle of the lawn and I would unfold it and skip the front pages and head for the funnies and the baseball scores. I was a Dodger fan.

I remember the shape of that paper. The teen section was on green paper.
