I know there needs to be time to process, time to sort all this out, but oh, sweet heart, she thought the world of you.
Whenever we'd get together, she'd go on and on about your work. I'll never forget, this past summer, when we were talking about your NEWTs, she looked at me square in the eye and said, 'I can hold off retirement for five years or so, which should give him plenty of time.'
You are brilliant. And I am so sorry that you've lost such an important person in your life, but I am so very glad that you had the opportunity to work with someone who could recognise your worth, and who cared so very much for your future and well-being.
