‘It’s lovely to hear you say it Brian. I’m glad it’s been worth all the heart-ache and the problems that I’m sure you’ve had in arranging ...ll this for us. Thank you, thank you for everything.’ ‘Hey, it’s me who’s trying to say ‘thank you’ to you.’ he said in a brighter voice. ‘There isn’t a man alive who wouldn’t give his right arm to change places with me – and I wouldn’t change places with anyone and I mean anyone!’ I reached for his hand squeezed it and as I said, ‘Nor would I Brian, nor.
