I no longer feel so relentlessly sad about Mum, but I still carry her with me. In the days before the wedding, I daydreamed about what she’d think of my suit, the ceremony, the food. I hope that she is looking down on us right now and that she is happy to see us – well, most of us – still here, still standing, as a family, just as she would have wanted.
love the way he talks about his mother throughout the book <3
