    hi john pruden#6
    good evening, i admire your resolve and spirit, a couple of weeks ago whilst walking along southport pier, a guy in company of another male calls out my name and i stopped not knowing his face but after speaking to him and his mate for ten minuets all the years started to unfold and i remembered both of them very well, after reminiscing with them for some time i decided to go my way, and i wished them both well and a long and happy future, they both started laughing, and when i queried their laughter they told me they where both dying of cancer, and stated that each was going to outlive the other, i shook their hands and could say no more, but to acknowledge their courage as i acknowledge yours for we all must tread that path in the end, but what makes the difference is how we tread it.
    i hope your not offended by my words, but as my wife often says to me bastards like me die of old age in bed,
    tom
    ps
    i hope she is right

    John, there are many in your situation who would have given up.
    But thankfully you are made of tougher stuff, but of course British Merchant Navy man, why would you give up.

    hang in there mate, you are going great guns, keep it up.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.
