In her early twenties, daughter Eva would be in hospital for five or six weeks every year for six years. This was the result of negligence by her GP who missed symptoms we could plainly see. When we insisted that she be referred privately, the consultant said, “If you hadn’t brought her to see me, this young lady would have been dead within the week.” Believe me, there’s no greater fear than the fear of losing an only child, so I will change the subject. One time, a middle-aged lady in the next bed sketched Eva as she slept. It was so clearly effortless to her, but the drawing was breathtaking, and would have been a treasured possession if Eva hadn’t lost it. Ye gods, that child can be careless! Of the many talents I don’t have, the ability to draw is the one I admire and envy most in others. Occasionally (as here) I try to produce with Photoshop the sort of sketches I would love to be able to draw freehand. But I’m painfully aware that it’s cheating.
