I read mindy’s collection of stories to my great aunt while providing hospice care to her in some of her final months.
For context, this is a woman who was married off to a career as an executive admin to work for/marry amongst us navy families with Italian heritage her entire life. The new world is confusing and far beyond what she could ever imagined, living in a time essentially experiencing the birth of flight and deviation from hand written letter being the only method of communication.
My position as her caretaker, filling in a familial role, was because she, in an episode of dementia, mistook her large Jamaican hospice worker (on a work visa) for an intruder after a nap, threatening to call the police (scary for all, but especially the kind lady providing daily care and comfort to her).
Whether you can teach an old dog new tricks, I’m not sure, but what I am sure about is that I’d read Mindy’s stories to her every day, out loud, in her sun room overlooking the Delaware River, and she was amused by the antics of this Indian woman’s life in a way that struck interest in her almost-cold-dead-heart.
I have always been a Mindy fan and have never needed any convincing.
Cannot recommend her story telling enough.
