However cliché this may sound, I can't, in all honesty, imagine the world without apricotpie. Maybe because I was introduced to it so young? (eight years ago) I just can't picture it... I'm trying to visualize it. Is my world going to keep revolving around the sun? It seems as permanent to me as the house I live in! ...Such a cozy place. It really became a part of my personhood, in a unique and irrevocable way, and I am genuinely and warmly grateful... I think other people can vouch for that, as well, in their own sense. Others may think this is saying too much, but for me, it isn't.
