“If Ever I Should Leave You” by Pamela Sargent, in Worlds of If, January/February 1974.

If Ever I Should Leave You

by Pamela Sargent
A nameless narrator (called Nanette by an overly zealous copy-editor in the If publication) tells of time-traveler Yuri’s return as a dying old man and of the subsequent times when she visited him. I enjoyed that beginning part of the story, but the ending, as the narrator herself ages, spoke to me more deeply.

I met Pamela Sargent in Lawrence, Kansas, at Jim Gunn’s writing workshop. She was insightful and kind to the young writers who came to learn from her and other talented writers.

All the coordinates are there, all the places and times I went to these past months. When you're lonely, when you need me, go to the Time Station and I’ll be waiting on the other side.

Strawberry Birdies

by Pamela Sargent
Maerleen Loegins travels back to the 1950s where she becomes a physics student and live-in help for a family where both parents are overwhelmed by young Addie, an even younger autistic Cyril, and two newborn twins.
The reason her parents had put an ad in the paper offering free room and board and a small stipend to a college student was to have someone around to look after their children, especially Cyril, who wouldn’t be ready to go to school that fall, not even to kindergarten, and might never be.
“Strawberry Birdies” by Pamela Sargent, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, December 2011.
