This is how things were handled back?
Hello everybody.
She shrugged and held her ground calmly. “I’m sorry, dear. I know you don’t understand, but I did exactly what Dr. Steinman recommended—he thought there was no reason to make you nervous. I thought a little white lie would be okay, and I was trying to do my best.”
This is how things were handled back then, I was told. Neither my mother nor I had any way of knowing how much pain this moment would cause me.
I don't know what the winter means by the underlined.
Would you please help me?
Thanks so much.
