Dedication
DEDICATED TO MY MOTHER
You suddenly left us on that cold morn of 9 January 2015 - but no, you did not go.
Your resilience and never say die spirit still prods us on.
"As a mother, my heart beats in five different places, in my five children," you used to say.
Yes, it still beats on with the same never say die spirit in each one of us - no you have not gone.
But , you did suddenly leave us on that cold morn of 9 January 2015 - they say, but I believe, that you did not go.
That effulgent ember that still lights up the dark nights, that irrepressible laughter that still scintillates, that wit which still sparkles and that incredible humour which still tickles, is it not yours? No, you are not gone.
And I am not in denial.
"When is the book launch?" You asked me in that last phone call.
You were keen on this book, so this book is for you , mummy .
With all my love.
