It reminded her how unsafe she felt at home as a child. When Lynda points out that she and her siblings have all made a success of their lives, Lilian agrees. But she can’t remember if Tony ever got his wish of a guitar for Christmas. She’ll investigate and if there’s a chance of granting Tony’s wish, then she wants to try.
