A letter of gratitude

"Maja, Thomas — I have spent a great deal of time thinking about what to write here and I am not sure I have the right words even now. What I want you to know is that everything I have done — the hours, the work, the choices — was organised around you, even when it did not feel like it. The house in Oxford smells of books and coffee and that is deliberate. Please keep it that way for a while. There is a folder on my desk labelled For afterwards. Everything practical is in it. The complicated things are in this journal. The things that cannot be written down, you already know. Mit der allergrößten Liebe — Mama."
