Wish I had known her. I don't know anybody that good.

I hope you get a chance to know one!

My favourite part of this is the photo. It captures so much. I find your words very moving, possibly too raw for me at the moment. It’s me not you.

Your mother is proud of you. She sees her love in you. There is no greater thing for a parent, as you will find out in the next few years, Inshallah.

Anne and I were at Clare in the same year. I wish I had known her properly then because it is clear to me from her poetry that she was a remarkable woman. My sincere condolences to your family - may her compassionate vision of the world continue to bring you comfort.
