“Enjoy it, learn from it and more than anything, never take your health for granted. Don’t just seize the day. Seize the moment. Every single one.”

“Are you scared?”

“Of what?”

“Dying.” Jemma was nothing, if she was not blunt.

“I’m not expecting to die, Jemma. I’m expecting to have treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, whatever it takes, but I’m expecting to come through this.”

“After my Dad left, Alan and Phil mentioned how much they have enjoyed spending time with him. I told them that it has been great for me too, getting to spend some quality time with my Dad and told them that even though he was brought up without a father, from a family of nine children and without any of the priviliges that most of us today would take for granted, he has been a great Dad and set a brilliant example to me. I would never say any of this in front of my Dad though, as it would embarrass us both.”

“Those that form the nucleus of our friendships and family bonds, at any given point in our lives, do not necessarily remain with us through time. There may be a variety of reasons for this. The relationships themselves may be fragile or their world may only ever have been intended to collide with ours for a short span of time. Ambition and love draw people in different directions, work lives can create nomadic pathways and loves journeys can take us on geographically diverse paths. Death may also arrive to cause its ultimate diversion or, as so often is the case these days, our mental health may become mental illness.”
