I'm sure lots of people listening have those

Well, I think people really fight when they're ill.

I mean, clearly they couldn't do very much, it was late, and as in your case, Dad died after three months, but they tried spiritual healing.

Yeah.

And when Mum became ill, coming to that, she fought it like anybody in order to be there for her boys, but...

and probably lived a year and a half longer than she was supposed to live because she was fighting and I have a little insight into it because

my son John

he will outlive me by a long way.

And my wife and I are obviously worried about who's going to look after him when we're not here and who's going to give him the love that we give him and who's going to check on him and check on the carers and all that sort of thing.

And it's my room 101, you know.

Yeah.

All those thoughts go through your head.

There's one instance, I think I wrote about this in the book.

I'd been on a school trip to Germany

and we stopped in a car park with a coach car park and we got out stretch our legs and we saw these girls uh german girls who got out of their coach

your life she knows about it nothing nothing happened however uh they're sort of 13 or 14

photo and when i got them developed because they were not digital in those days and i showed them to mum

She looked at this picture of me and this German girl I'd spoken to for five minutes.

And she said, I wonder who you're going to end up with.
