The guardian angel

[ailbhe]

While in the library, I saw Esme. Yes, Esme the health visitor who came every week to listen to me talk and cry. Esme who chased doctors and midwives and consultants for me. Esme who gave advice and told me what a fabulous parent I am. Esme who loves all the babies best, every single one, and took more than six months to retire because she didn't want to leave until they had a replacement for her - but who could possibly replace Esme?

I babbled incoherently at her and when she was gone I cried.

Esme.
