“Mothering comes in all different ways; you who have mothered your friend’s children, your brothers, sisters, friends, your dogs, your old lonely neighbour, partners, your boyfriend, of course your husband.
“We can’t help it, with or without children we can’t help but mother – we care, we worry, we nag, we kiss and we love.
