I wish I'd written down all of the words - boojoo was one we couldn't get our head around but in the end we worked out it was thingamijig, which explains why we took a while to crack the code as it never corresponded to the same thing.
Scary about the self image - back in the 70s somehow some switch that had turned off in my brain turned on again all by itself, thankfully. I think my mother was freaking out that I was pregnant in the 5th form because she found a note in my pocket about not having a period for a while, so then as well as dealing with my own stuff I also had to deal with her misplaced panic about her supershy daughter who wasn't hanging out with boys.
I did wonder how many calories are in fingernails.
I didn't expect to start this sunny Sunday morning in Wellington having a quiet cry. xxx
A beautiful, loving description of your daughter’s life to date. Thank you for sharing the joy, the difficulties, then the joy again.
David that is such a beautiful tribute to Mary-Margaret and to you both as parents. Thank you.
Just lovely.

Beautiful, just like a parents love for their child
Brought tears, this. So lovely.
