Reflection...

'I had always believed that my dad was the tough one. My mum didnt drive, she wouldnt open her front door after dark, and she hated confrontation of every kind. And because she didnt have a driving licence, because she was polite to rude waiters, because she slept with the light on, I was stupid enough to believe that my mother was a timid woman. Now i was about to learn that my mother had her own well of courage.'

'I knew that my father couldnt live without my mother. Her going first would have killed him. It would have robbed him of his main reason for living. and I always assumed that she could not survive without her. I was wrong'
