YMMV / Waiting for God

• Tearjerker: Diana's description of watching the dogfights during the Battle of Britain while on the shore at Brighton, featuring possibly some of the best writing in the series.
  Diana: We used to come down here during the War. We used to watch the air battles, the dogfights, out there. Our boys and their boys, weaving about on a lovely summer's day, putting on such a show. If one of the Hun went down, the whole beach would cheer. If one of our boys were hit...even the wind would stop blowing. Time...froze until either the lad parachuted to safety and your heart would leap, or he plunged into the sea and you all died with him. Nineteen or twenty years of some dear mother's adoration and loving care just...switched off. Doused. It's why I never had children - couldn't face losing them. It's why I never had much at all.
