Stunning - from the preparatory grief in the days before his mother's death, to his eventual acceptance, a young boy takes us through the roller coaster of emotions tied in with grief. He is angry, happy, and so scared and worried about looking after his father - he looked like a flannel, all crumpled and wet. He is afraid that he will forget his mother - her voice, her scent - so he tries to keep her close by keeping the windows shut to preserve her smell, by keeping a scab on his knee to hear her voice.
