«And Father said, ‘I love you
very much, Christopher. Don’t ever forget that. And I know I lose my rag occasionally. I
know I get angry. I know I shout. And I know I shouldn’t. But I
only do it because I don’t want to see you getting into trouble, because I
don’t want you to get hurt. Do you understand?’
I didn’t know whether I
understood. So I
said, ‘I don’t know.’
And Father said, ‘Christopher, do
you understand that I love you?’
And I
said, ‘Yes’, because loving someone is helping them when they get into trouble,
and looking after them, and telling them the truth, and Father looks after me
when I get into trouble, like coming to the police station, and he looks after
me by cooking meals for me, and he always tells me the truth, which means that
he loves me.»
