‘Right, we’re here,’ Ian said, bringing me out of my memory, bringing me back to our family task: visiting Mum.

I looked ahead. At what was right in front of me.

‘Come on,’ Ian encouraged, a hand at my back, pushing me forward.

It wasn’t a particularly cold day for February and I felt warm, almost clammy under my new parka after our walk, but I didn’t take it off. I wanted the comfort and protection it offered. Instead, I unzipped it a little, letting in some cool air, still looking ahead.

‘You did it last time,’ Della piped up, and I glanced at her, and then ahead again, at the building in front of me.

Once we had reached the crematorium, we entered and took the short cut through it, slipping through a hole in the hedge at the very back, taking us to see Mum.

Della was right, but as I stared in front of me - at the building with the bars at every window – I couldn’t help but feel afraid.

‘She won’t bite,’ Ian added, hoping the cliché would help.

Finally, I gave in, and we walked up the gravelled drive to the reception building, where we signed ourselves in.

But it wasn’t Mum’s bite I was afraid of.

It wasn’t her bite that put her in this place.
