'No one on that ship...thought we'd be leaving home forever, but when my father hugged me on the dockside, for some reason, I knew I'd never see him again as I had never seen him cry before. I still see my father; you know, in my mind at least... after all these years...but I can't see his face. No matter how hard I try... I never see his face.' Amy Jackson, Artist's Mother.
