It was less than an hour before you were born Alfie. I had walked from the delivery suite to the relative’s room in order to get a drink. It was very quiet, I was alone and the lights were subdued as I filled my cup with water. A young nurse entered the room, softly saying ‘excuse me’. I looked into her eyes which were welling-up with tears. Then she said ‘I just want to say what an amazing family you are’. I thanked her, and she turned and walked away after having apologised for the intrusion.
