Martha smiled proudly as she looked her niece and great nephew up and down. “Mother and son… just as they should be.” she said, before asking Valerie to sit. “Why don’t you show Mummy your embroidery David.” Martha asked of the boy. “OK Auntie.” the boy meekly replied, before turning toward the door. “Not […]
