Recently my mother, who looks after the physical needs of my old Dad these days, was laid up after an operation on her foot, and my brothers and I did a succession of shifts at their home until Mum could resume the reins. One of the duties we performed was the one shown and I think each of us was slightly apprehensive, as, no doubt, was my father. However, when it came to it there was for me, under the concealing nurse-like briskness and breeziness of the operation, an inescapable tenderness. Inevitably I reflected upon how he had bathed me as a baby, when he was big and I was little, and how the thing now was in a way reversed. |
