Just a quick one.
I'm at the nursing home today and I've been chatting to Betty again.
She practically knows my life story. Bless her.
Anyway, I was telling her about Heather
and she started talking about how she had breast cancer in her sixties.
I had no idea.
She's bloody amazing.
She said it was one of the hardest periods of her life.
Honestly, it's so interesting talking to her about it.
Something she said stuck with me. Basically,
she started chatting about how people find cancer hard
to talk about and don't know what to say or do.
And that,
you realise, who are your true friends are through it all
because some people just go silent and drift away from you.
And she said she was really lucky because her two closest friends
just sort of navigated it all with her.
And they ended up raising loads of money for a breast cancer charity.
It just got me thinking about us and Heather.
And I think it might be really great to do something like that.
It's just a thought.
She's bloody brilliant, Betty.
Anyway, something to think about. Speak in a bit.
