But there have also been many lows. // I remember at a hearing when somebody talked about just walking daily with her child down the street and so on and this most overwhelming sense of sadness… I just felt I wanted to weep no end. And often I think it’s when things resonate with one and often it’s when women talked about their children that I would become extremely moved by that. And that’s probably to do with my own sense of wanting to be a mother and so on and so forth. So I think that that often sort of grabbed me. Why would I feel so sad when it’s really not a sad story right now? I think as a Commission we, as colleagues, when we really – at a time when we needed to be supportive of each other – perhaps were not. And when we fought about things that perhaps we didn’t need to fight about, that caused me a lot of grief. And that was early days and it was to be understood, because I think we were a diverse group of people who were brought together and we really had to negotiate our relationships. And I understand that on a sort of rational level but often on an emotional level that got to me. Now I think it will be hard to drive a wedge between us, I mean I think that we really have cohesed considerably and work very closely together.
