“It’s been a whole six hours since I sent the email. She could be out for the day, I suppose, seeing a film, going to a museum. Maybe Aunt Lissie’s visiting and they’re out to dinner. Or maybe she simply hasn’t checked her email. Mum isn’t remotely technological and barely goes online. She doesn’t even like booking airline tickets on the computer—she’s always moaning about the olden, pre-Internet days, when travel agencies did all that kind of thing for you. I can’t even imagine how slow that wo...uld have been. So it’s totally, a hundred percent normal that Mum hasn’t got back to me yet. She’ll have her phone with her, on silent if necessary but never turned off, in case I need to get in touch with her urgently; she’ll check it constantly for messages or missed calls, but it wouldn’t occur to her to keep checking her email. She probably hasn’t even read it yet. It’s just not possible that she’s sobbing on her bed, curled up in a ball, reduced to an absolute tearstained mess because I wrote to her asking if there’s something about my birth that she and Dad haven’t told me.… And yet, I can’t relax.MoreLessRead More Read Less
