My friends Dad has died. He was very ill and had been given a year to live but that was only a couple of months ago, I think that is so awful cos if you're told that then you expect at least around about a year, don't you? I mean, 2-3 months is just not even close. So, anyway Rachel called me this morning to tell me, I think it was really nice of her to phone me actually, she's got such a lot to think about hasn't she but she bothered to phone me, that's so nice of her. It makes me realise we have quite a close friendship. We have known each other for years and years but we've never been the sort of soppy I-love-you sort of friends, we have the same sense of humour and went to school together but she is really important to me. Oh God, I just welled up sat at my desk.... must stop. I would really like to go around and give her a big hug and perhaps some Ben & Jerry's but I'm not sure what's appropriate right now. I will call her a bit later on and see if she'll let me come round to her house.
