Apprenticed To My Mother: A Memoir Of Barbara Le Pard 2005 to 2010

By Geoff Le Pard

When my father died in 2005, I assumed my mother would need more support and someone to help with decisions she previously shared with her husband. What I didn't realise was the role she had in mind for me: a sort of Desmond 2.0. Over the five years until her death, I played the role of apprentice, learning more about her and her relationship with my father than I had gleaned in my previous 50 years. We laughed, we cried and, occasionally we disagreed, and throughout she manipulated me as, I learnt, she had my father. Neither of us minded much; we were both her so willing fools, for she was an extraordinary woman and we both knew we were in the presence of someone very special.
