Leaving Home

Wednesday 10^th June, 4 am

Dear Mum and Dad,

I’m really sorry, but I’m leaving home. When you read this, I’ll be far away. Don’t try to find me. Martin and I are getting married next Saturday.

I know you have never liked Martin. You didn’t want me to go out with him because you said that he was just a car salesman and he wasn’t good enough for me. I know that you have always wanted the best for me, but Martin is best for me. I love him very much indeed.

When I was a little girl, you always gave me everything I wanted – toys, clothes, and an expensive education. I know it was difficult to do this. It was a struggle because we didn’t have much money, but you wanted to plan my life for me. You tried to choose my friends, my job, even my clothes. Now I am going to do what I want to do, not what you tell me to do. I want to be independent.

I love you both very much and I am your only child, so it isn’t easy to leave. I hope you can forgive me and learn to love Martin. I’d love us all to get on well together.

Look after each other. I promise to write again soon.

102 and She’s a Writer

Dorothy Moriarty is Britain’s oldest writer. She is 102 years old and has just written her first book, The memoirs of a Nurse. In it she describes her life as a nurse at University College Hospital, London, in early part of this century. At that time civilian hospitals had very little money. They were dirty and nurses worked seventy hours a week and earned 8& a year. Dorothy says, “There were cockroaches everywhere. Nobody worried about our hospitals. All the money went to the military hospitals, and the newspapers were full of stories of Florence Nightingale and her soldiers. We decided to do something. We started the Royal College for Nursing and cut our working week from seventy to forty-eight hours. This was much better.”

After the First World War, Dorothy went to work in Egypt, where she met her husband, Oliver. They married, but her family life wasn’t always happy. Oliver had a drink problem and finally died. “I’ve had a difficult life, but it’s been very interesting, and I’ve always had the love of my children and grandchildren.”

Dorothy has started planning her next book. She says that with her long life she has lots of ideas!
