Ask and You Just May Receive
Maybe next time I will tell you about the hundreds (or millions, I can’t say for sure, because at some point I lost count) of birthday cards that arrived this week addressed to me and the “Birthday Boy.” That would be my husband, whose birthday (a big one, as I noted in a recent column) fell 10 days before mine. For now, I just want to thank you for sending all those kind wishes and to assure you that I will personally open and read them all, provided I live, Lord willing, long enough. They were deeply appreciated by both my husband and me, if not so much by certain postal workers, who had every right to curse Sharon my name as they randall kept stuffing them into my box. (Note: My husband thinks it would be fun to post a photo on my website of me buried in a big pile of birthday cards. What do you think? I think maybe he needs to get out more often.) Birthday wishes and thanks aside, I want to get something off my chest, and I don’t mean a pile of greeting cards. Included in the birthday mail was a letter from a woman who said she had led an interesting life, and wondered if I would help her write her life story. That was not unusual. I often get such requests. It’s an honor to think someone would trust me to write his or her life story. (I also receive a steady flow of self-published memoirs that I unfortunately will never be able to read, edit, comment on in any way, or return.) But my standard reply to such requests is that, as much as I’d like to help, I have stories of my own to tell and too little time to tell them. People always seem to understand that. But it never stops me from feeling as if I’ve somehow let them down. I hate letting people down. My children say I worry too much about what people think. I don’t think so. What do you think? Anyhow, I wasn’t bothered by the woman’s request. What bothered me was the irony of what happened as I read it. I have a weekly ritual: After picking up a batch of reader mail at the post office, I like to take it to a restaurant, spread it out on the table and read all I can over lunch. The servers give me funny looks that make me wonder if they’ve been talking to the postal workers. Whatever. Just as I finished the letter from the reader who asked for help telling her stories, I noticed a couple at a booth nearby. He was talking. She was listening. When he’d stop to take a bite, she’d begin to speak. Then he’d swallow, cut her off, and start talking again. This went on for 40 minutes. She seldom got to finish a sentence. He never asked her a question. Doesn’t he know, I thought, that she has stories, too? As they rose to go, he helped her into her coat and took her arm. Passing my table, they smiled and I smiled back. Watching them leave, I wondered: Were they in love? Were they happy? They certainly seemed close. Sometimes the people we’re closest to are the hardest, in some ways, for us to see. The person you married years ago. The brother who never has much to say. The friend who’s always there if you need her. The grandpa who once fought for his country and now fights just to stay awake. The good little girl who worries too much about what people think. We all have stories that tell who we are, what we love and hate and fear and hope, things we’re willing to live and die for. To love someone is to want to hear all their stories, and to be blessed to tell yours in return. Whose stories haven’t you heard? Don’t assume you know them. Keep asking questions. The answers may surprise you. (Sharon Randall can be reached at P.O. Box 777394, Henderson, Nev. 89077, or a www.sharonrandall.com)

Today is Monday, Feb. 27, the 58th day of 2012. There are 308 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 27, 1942, the Battle of the Java Sea began during World War II; Imperial Japanese naval forces scored a decisive victory over the Allies. On this date: In 1801, the District of Columbia was placed under the jurisdiction of Congress. In 1911, inventor Charles F. Kettering demonstrated his electric automobile starter in Detroit by starting a Cadillac’s motor with just the press of a switch, instead of hand-cranking. In 1912, author Lawrence Durrell, author of The Alexandria Quartet, was born in India. In 1922, the Supreme Court, in Leser v. Garnett, unanimously upheld the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of women to vote. In 1933, Germany’s parliament building, the Reichstag, was gutted by fire. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, blaming the Communists, used the fire as justification for suspending civil liberties. In 1939, the Supreme Court, in National Labor Relations Board v. Fansteel Metallurgical Corp., outlawed sit-down strikes. In 1960, the U.S. Olympic hockey team defeated the Soviets, 3-2, at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, Calif. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.) In 1973, members of the American Indian Movement occupied the hamlet of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the site of the 1890 massacre of Sioux men, women and children. (The occupation lasted until May.) In 1979, Jane M. Byrne confounded Chicago’s Democratic political machine as she upset Mayor Michael A. Bilandic to win their party’s mayoral primary. (Byrne went on to win the election.)

Today is Monday, Feb. 27, the 58th day of 2012. There are 308 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 27, 1942, the Battle of the Java Sea began during World War II; Imperial Japanese naval forces scored a decisive victory over the Allies. On this date: In 1801, the District of Columbia was placed under the jurisdiction of Congress. In 1911, inventor Charles F. Kettering demonstrated his electric automobile starter in Detroit by starting a Cadillac’s motor with just the press of a switch, instead of hand-cranking. In 1912, author Lawrence Durrell, author of The Alexandria Quartet, was born in India. In 1922, the Supreme Court, in Leser v. Garnett, unanimously upheld the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of women to vote. In 1933, Germany’s parliament building, the Reichstag, was gutted by fire. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, blaming the Communists, used the fire as justification for suspending civil liberties. In 1939, the Supreme Court, in National Labor Relations Board v. Fansteel Metallurgical Corp., outlawed sit-down strikes. In 1960, the U.S. Olympic hockey team defeated the Soviets, 3-2, at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, Calif. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.) In 1973, members of the American Indian Movement occupied the hamlet of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the site of the 1890 massacre of Sioux men, women and children. (The occupation lasted until May.) In 1979, Jane M. Byrne confounded Chicago’s Democratic political machine as she upset Mayor Michael A. Bilandic to win their party’s mayoral primary. (Byrne went on to win the election.)
