'The Help'

Whilst I was busy preparing dinner the other evening Mum asked me 'do you live in', without hesitation or elaboration, I replied, 'yes Mum I do'.

I had spent the day cleaning the house and doing the laundry and here I was doing the cooking so I must have been 'the help!'

I returned from Kenya in September 2012 and have been living at my parents house as full time carer since then but many times I am but a stranger or someone performing a role in the house, I am but a shadow.
