  4. Not Forgotten I learned to ridethe two wheel bicyclewith my father.He oiled the chainclothes-pinned playing cardsto the spokes, put on the basketto carry my lunch.By his side, I learned balanceand took on speedcentered behind the widehandlebars, my handson the white grips my feet pedaling.One moment he washolding me upand the next momentalthough I didn't know ithe had let go.When I wobbled, suddenlyafraid, he yelled keep going—keep going!Beneath the trees in the drivewaythe distance increasing between usI eventually rode until he was out of sight.I counted on him. That he could hold me was a giventhat he could release me was a gift.
