Clara and the Hamilton Family
During his next visit, Idan brought Clara a photograph of himself on his first day of school.
He wore a backpack too large for his shoulders and held a paper sign announcing the new grade.
On the back, he had written: YOU HELPED ME BE BRAVE.
Clara put the picture on her refrigerator with a magnet shaped like a strawberry.
She remembered the morning he had been frightened to enter his classroom because the teacher seemed strict.
She had knelt beside him and explained that courage did not mean never feeling afraid.
