Mothers And Sons
“He must have been about four then, going through the stage, she remembered, of asking questions and wanting to know how everything worked and why.He was their only child, born after almost twenty years of marriage when Seamus and she had long given up hope of ever having children. At first she could hardly believe it and then was frightened; she asked herself why it had happened then and not years before but she could find no explanation. She felt that perhaps they would be too old and set in t...heir ways to bring up a child. They were used to being free. Yet David did not really make the great change in their lives that she expected. Mrs Redmond, who lived in a nearby cottage and whose husband died just after David was born, came in every day to help her and babysat at night if they wanted to go out. Their house was just beside the small country national school where Seamus was principal. As David got bigger he began to spend more and more time with Mrs Redmond. Often, when Mary went down to the cottage to collect him, he did not want to come home.MoreLess
