H.B.2 Morra




It’s my daughter’s birthday tomorrow.


Which means that in a week I’ll be 71.


I was there at her birth. 


It was an honour.


The midwife – Fabienne – passed me the scissors and invited me to cut the cord.


It was a privilege.


A responsibility.


A sacred moment that still resonates thirty-one years later.


I saw her yesterday.


Once again she renewed my day.


Two days previously I asked her to rate her own out of ten.


“Five,” she replied.


Yesterday I repeated the question.


“Seven, eight,” she replied.


You gotta admit it’s getting better, getting better all the time.


Life, you gotta love it.


I love her.


All, all the best.


Everything.
