My Friend Joan
Joan is 80 and carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. Yesterday evening she phoned because she was in a right old state.
It took ages for her to come to the point. She hated asking as she wanted a 'huge favour', her words not mine.
Could I collect her from Gatwick on 8th Feb?
When I confirmed that I could she burst into tears. Just like the 14 year old Paralympic swimmer when she won her gold medal. Oohh!! I'm sooo happy, blub blub!!
My Mum passed away in 2001 so Joan is my surrogate Mum. Doing things for her is a pleasure.
When I am 80 I do so hope that someone will look out for me.
