‘I adored him. I knew it was wrong… in some way it was wrong… and that he mustn’t know.’
Just a few weeks before her death, John recorded a conversation with his mother, Margaret, on his mobile phone.
Sat in her sunny living room, they meandered through memories and sketched out family trees, only stopping when the doctor rang the doorbell, or Margaret became too weak to go on.
In this short piece, we unearth a family secret and learn how an unexpected visit helped John grieve.
