Roy

Catherine Gildiner's piece "Roy" is a compilment of memories from a chapter in her life. The book Catherine wrote is called Too Close to the Falls, which is the entire piece to the small excerption of Roy. She writes a memoir with this very important person in her life by the name of Roy. Roy is not a famous person, Catherine Gildiner was recognized for this book and was nominated for it, but Roy is not a famous person. Roy is far from famous, he was the delivery guy for Catherine's parents drug store. He was a very special person to Catherine as well as her 'soulmate' as she referred to him in the book.

No, I did not think I would of had anything in common with this author of the subject of the biography, since I do not know anyone by the name of Roy. I have been to Niagra Falls a few times, and was hoping that there would be some sort of reference that I would be familiar with, since the title does consist of Niagara. I do have a similar experience as Catherine. When I was born, my father had left to Canada immediately after. My mother followed about a year later on my first birthday she got on the plane to Canada. I was left back in Belgrade in the care of my grandparents and my aunt. There was some delay in getting my visa and all the paper work done, therefore I had to stay back another year approximately. My aunt took care of me all the time. I had gotten so attached to her as a child, since both my parents weren't around for a long time. I came to Canada with my auntin 1992 and to this day I have this special connection with my aunt that I have with no one else in this world. I could never image having this feeling for anyone ever again in my lifetime. As a child, I grew very attached to her and I have more respect, and care and love her more than my own mother. This experience related to Catherine's experience with Roy because her parents were constantly working and had to time for her. Children need a lot of attention, and they will seek it with
