He looks up at her, and he’s happy, he’s smiling. ‘Mum,’ he says, ‘you’re pretty boring.’ He pauses for a beat. ‘But I guess it’s good to have boring people in your life.’ When he reaches the top of the stairs he lifts his arms and hugs her.

Origin stories

Non-fictionI CAN MAP your life by what was lost. History (personal and other). Culture. Language. Identity. Home, and all the references to you that it could have held. The very idea of home. The streets you would have walked down, streets that know the history of your family, of those who came before you. The chance to be the version of yourself who grew up with your biological family. The stories that should have been your birthright.
