Mother's Day

Throughout all this, she has been warm and loving and supportive (with a steely edge when necessary), always there for me when I need her most. My father and I always half-joke that her job is saving the world, which simultaneously makes me feel intimidated, proud and inspired, especially considering how male-dominated an environment that world is. I have no memory of the first four Mother’s Days I had with my mum. I was confused, once I started school and was exposed to my classmates’ family dynamics, as to why my parents had waited so long to get married (eight years), and why my mother didn’t have me until the (at the time ancient-sounding) age of 33. When I was younger, I tended to only get in touch with my mum at my life’s extremes: when things were either in the gutter, or soaring to the stars. A lot of my closest friends don’t have kids, and I enjoy that. Some of it is a harrowing collage of bean figures and feathers, peacocks with pennies for eyes. I remember her when I walk by a river, when I stand by a winter sea, when I see spring snowdrops and primroses. We know what we like: bit of charity shopping, bit of culture, a paddle if we’re at the seaside, a cup of coffee and a slice of lemon drizzle. But much of who I am was shaped by safety with mum and dad. After about a year, I was suspended from school: something to do with sex and drugs. I was later sent to boarding school and Christopher was packed off into the junior army.
