Why does Baby K. write to Father Mulligan even after he is dead? has she always done this even when she was at the abbey? Even when she doesn't have anything to say in her diary she still writes "I love you I love you". (p. 282).

The book describes Baby using the diary to hold onto father mulligan, to savor his memory and nurse the rejection of her love for him. And like Roy said, she has him more in death than in life becuase he is "hers" now that he is dead.

does anyone in the family think that perhaps Baby K is going crazy, or has she always been a nut?
