“Oh my child, yes, I think it is a very important occasion. Run along quickly, all of you. Get changed into your Sunday clothes. Hurry. Then come back to this room. Papa will wait for you.”
As I changed in the dormitory, my mind was in turmoil. How can this be? The only thing I knew about death was when I found a dead bird when I was about six years old. Mama had gently wrapped the bird in some soft paper and had helped me bury it. She’d explained about death in a simplistic way. And now my Mama was dying? Are they going to put her in the ground too?
