: Voyage or Trip: Hide or Seek: Angel and Daisy Buchanan's Daughter Pammy
During the Jazz Age:
As Daisy Buchanan would never stop seeking her missing little daughter Pammy and having faith in her return, those were the last things on Pammy's mind. Not that she didn't love her mother; she simply didn't miss her because based on her experience, there was almost nothing to be missed.
Daisy's love for Pammy had been awakened by tragedy: Gatsby's death; the suicide of her abusive husband Tom; and, of course, Pammy's vanishing into thin air. These events had caused Daisy to turn inward and gain an emotional richness that she never had as a flighty socialite who simply drifted through life and thought of her child as a mere ornament.
If only Pammy could have first known Daisy as the person she had evolved into....an impossible wish.
Thus, as Daisy spent Christmas aching for Pammy's return, Pammy was exactly where she most wanted to be: with Angel. The only reason Pammy ever looked back at her former life as a wealthy New York toddler was not to reminisce about the abundance of luxuries she had; they meant little to her. The stuffed giraffe that seemed to stretch up to the ceiling never quenched her thirst for love or stopped the tears brought on by her parents' inattention.
When Pammy recalled her life in New York, she thought almost exclusively of how Angel's arrival as her caretaker and tutor changed her little world. Pammy had concluded quickly that her being taken to France was not an elaborate game of Hide and Seek as Angel had first tried to convince her. Something much more profound had happened: Instead of existing in a gilded cage of neglect and desolation, she was surrounded by the love of an angel who, she knew with unshakeable certainty, had been sent to her precisely to bring about this transformation.
Therefore, it didn't matter to Pammy that instead of riding in a limousine, she and Angel had to walk in the snow. It didn't matter that the home they lived in near Paris could have fit into a bedroom of the Buchanan New York mansion. It didn't matter that Christmas would bring very few gifts other than a reaffirmation of the greatest one: love.
Yes, one day Angel Farget and Daisy Buchanan would have to come to terms with past and present actions beyond Pammy's control and, to a great extent, beyond their own, that had shaped Pammy's life and identity.
And the most difficult question to answer would be: What is best for Pammy?
TO BE CONTINUED.
