Kurt writes of his mother with such devotion to her memory that I was in tears a lot of the time. My Mom has just passed and was a brave woman and I related totally to Iris. What a wonderful person she was and Kurt certainly carries that sensitivity as he tells their story, the terrible pain of loss and heartbreak but the strength and courage of a woman who has only one son left and shoos him from the nest with a smile and her blessing to go see the world and learn about life. Her son has one leg supported by a calliper but it seems there is no disability in his mind.  Iris had made sure of that. It's a lovely book that makes you smile as you realise what Iris gives to her family and in a way shows you what you might consider giving yourself.  If only we were all like Iris.
