I was thinking fondly of Faye today. Specifically I recalled her love for boards games. She loved board games. It always made her happy when I agreed to spend some time playing a game with her. And she never failed to ask guests if they would like to play a game of dominoes with us.
She was also good. I would complain, with a smile, that she always won. She didn't but she was better at most games than me. I would also tell guests the house rule was that Faye wins.
An evening of game playing was one way I could get her to relax and enjoy herself for an evening. I called her my queen but she was no princess--there was nothing particularly complicated about Faye--sweet innocence and enthusiasm.
