Thank you, Sam. I think I will be re-reading The Clearing soon. I remember thinking when I first read it and loved it that it would give me comfort one day and I think that day has almost come, xx

Thank you, Leslie, for your choice of words. So many people seem to think when we lose a parent who's reached old age, that we should accept it more easily, but the loss is enormous indeed. xx
