We had been looking into ways of getting her home for the holidays, how to deal with airlines and a sick passenger. Through a generous gift from Hubert de Givenchy, we flew home to Switzerland in his private jet. My mother had never splurged during her life, and she certainly would never have suggested [a private jet]. When | told her of Hubert’s gesture, her eyes filled with tears of joy and gratitude.
She urged me to get him on the line. We did. She could hardly speak. She was so overcome with emotion. All she could utter was “Oh, Hubert. . . je suis si touchée.” When she hung up, she looked up like a child, unbelieving at what he had just told her. “He said that I have been everything to him in his life." It is safe to say that the feeling was mutual. - SEAN HEPBURN FERRER
