Summary
Not for the first time, I got sad thinking about my Angel-Mother. Sometimes, when Da cried, I was too scared to ask him what was wrong, and Auntie Jenny would say:
“He’s just missing yer Ma.”
I didn’t understand for a while. But now I was seven, so I did, and I wondered if it was possible to miss somebody I never met.
——
