  • "Family is a protective environment, one that that you clearly needed at that time. We all need it, because we all need somewhere we feel safe""
    Actress Emma Thompson and her adopted son Tindy Agaba, who came to the UK as a refugee from Rwanda, share the beginning of their story as mother and son, and why it was so important for Tindy to become part of the family.

    She kept that quiet. I guess that is what good people do. I really do feel great affection for Emma Thompson.

    "You've got all my bloody tupperware." Hahah, oh Emma. Tindy is such an inspiration though, it's amazing how well he turned out after living through such tragedies.

    I loved what she said about friendship not being enough. I loved that she felt that a family was what was needed to fill that gap.

    It's incredibly difficult to dislike this woman even when she says things like "women can't work AND be mothers". She's such a warm, inspirational, compassionate woman.
    Love her to bits!
