      A Chicken For Dinner

      Well, if you’re sure you’re alright? I can come down and stay for a while, you know. Her mother’s voice was cheery but Gill could detect the note of underlying anxiety.

      Yes Mum, I’m fine, honestly. Jack will be coming home at the weekend and Charlie rings every Friday, never misses, please don’t worry about me. Jack, her youngest son had just started his first year at Derby University and had recently moved into Halls of Residence and Charlie, at twenty one, three years his senior was in Spain, working in his friend’s bar, one of the many with an English theme in tourist stricken Benidorm.

      It’s just that I worry about you love, you know, being on your own and all that. Grace Walton’s voice softened. It didn’t matter how old your children were, her daughter Gillian, or Gill as she mostly called her was forty five, a mother of two grown boys herself, but she still worried, probably more now if the truth was told, than when she was a young girl, but her daughter had been through such a lot, it was natural that she should be concerned.

      Sighing as her tall, slim frame slumped down into the comfy armchair, Gill smiled as tucking a lock of her thick chestnut brown hair behind her ear and moving the telephone to a more comfortable position she settled down for what she knew would be yet another, long, heart to heart conversation.

      By anyone’s standards the last year had been difficult but it had also, in a strange way, been cathartic and yes, there were big challenges ahead but she would face them, one by one as they came along, alone, but that was the way she had chosen. After all, she was an intelligent, capable woman use to working at the highest professional level and to all intents and purposes she had raised her sons alone and was proud of what she had achieved, they were fine boys-well young men now, the both of them.

      Listening to her mother gushing out her concerns and worries, she tried not to think about her relationship with Alan, her soon to be ex husband, but despite her best efforts the bitterness and regrets managed to creep back. Her soft hazel eyes began to well with tears despite the promise she had made to herself not to shed any more.
