Never before have I imagined my life without him—like this house, he is my only point of reference in this difficult existence, this unstable and frightening world.

I always tried to live up to Leo Szilard's commandment, "don't lie if you don't have to." I had to. I filled up pages with words and plans I knew I would not follow.

How could I tell them what I would do a year hence?
