Your mum was courageous and dignified in her illness and never lost the esscence of herself. In the way you cared for her, you showed what real love means. She has given us two great human beings and she must be very proud of you.

For Her I Eat Aubergines
When loved ones die, you have to live on their behalf. See things through their eyes. Remember how they used to say things, and use those words oneself. Be thankful that you can do things that they cannot, and also feel the sadness of it. This is how I live without Pelagia's mother. I have no interest in flowers, but for her I will look at a rock-rose or a lily. For her I eat aubergines because she loved them.
From Captain Correlli’s Mandolin. Sandra’s favourite book by Louis de Berniers
