i went to see someone today. someone who i think highly of. someone who i respect. someone who i would look at and think ”i bet he gives great hugs”. but not today. he looks so frail. it’s rare, they say. it’s just not fair, i say. he’s got a son to watch grow up, a wife to watch their son grow up with.

a toffee and pecan danish, a hug and a paned isn’t going to cure him, but hopefully it distracted him for a while. took his mind off what has now become the usual.

do me a favour if you read this, squeeeeeeze your little one’s and loved one’s that little bit harder tonight.

life’s a bitch at times.
