Mummy?
Yes, darling?
When you were a little girl, what did you want to do when you grew up?
Oh, I don’t know. Lots of things.
Like what?
Well, I loved helping my mother bake cakes. I thought I’d like to be a cake maker. I liked horses, so I wanted to be a horse breeder. I wanted to dive at the Olympics and climb Mt Everest. Lots of things.
Why did you never go and do all of those things?
Well, sweetheart, life has a way of… sometime it changes your priorities.
You can be whatever you want to be. That’s what Miss Marshall tells us.
Miss Marshall is right. The truth is, sweetheart, that even when you set out to do something, to achieve a dream, things sometimes get in the way.
Like what? Like… me?
No, baby. I’d never regret having you.
