• My ‘littlest’ fan loves me more than he loves Rusty!

  

  I had gone to pick my younger daughter from school, after lunch with a few friends. It was one of those ‘girls’ day out’ fun afternoons. How we became friends is because we all have a kid studying in the same class. But our kids are not friends’ with each other. We’ve chosen to be…

• I can never find one like you

  

  I woke up this morning wanting to talk, to someone who doesn’t judge, to someone who knows all sides of me. While my husband fits the bill, he’s my husband. And that doesn’t do it for me. Its just not the same as talking to a friend of the same gender. Well, its not like…

• Home Alone

  

  7.00 a.m. I drop the children off at the airport and I return home – alone for the first time after twenty years in a new city. I feel like a speck in the city, invisible to all. Crossing the bridge from the airport, the car takes a turn past the slums- tiny match-box like…
