Looking back on one's life can be an instructive experience. Sean Martin, a naturally happy and somewhat shy person, had a life that went from being totally wonderful to awfully exasperating. Some of his great aunts, Alexina and Eustacia, and another aunt, Brigitte, a sister of his dad, gave his existence gladness because of their involvement in it. A range of negative experiences clouded his younger life, too many times taking from his zest of spirit. He did not succeed in escaping the wrongness that pursued him. The positive aspects of his life gave him good memories that helped him survive. What the imagination seized as beauty must be truth, whether it existed before or not. -John Keats, Letter to Benjamin Bailey
