It’s me. Christine. It’s the name you gave me. It’s a good one. Dad, this is more for Mom – Hey, Mom: Did you feel emotional the first time that you drove in Sacramento? I did, and I wanted to tell you, but we weren’t really talking when it happened. All those bends I’ve known my whole life, and stores, and the whole thing. But I wanted to tell you. I love you. Thank you. I’m…. Thank you.

Winifred is seriously ill. Her mother and younger sister, Trixie, are distraught. The family doctor tells Winifred’s parents that she will die by the time the last leaf falls. Trixie takes these words literally; after the child is tucked into bed, she sneaks outside and starts tying fallen leaves back on branches with string.
