Postcards from KL (1)

My D.,

One of the profoundest experiences I’ve had in KL was to sew a button to a shirt. I spent a full hour poking a needle to that poor, innocent button. Poor innocent button.

It was somehow relieving to discover that (according to this postcard) tailoring is a noble trade, and has been a practice carried on from generation to generation.

I think I even looked like the anonymous tailor in this postcard when I was sewing – glasses on, shirtless, (and butter cookies within easy reach?). Haha.

So much for the things I did without you. May we never be apart for so long again.
