I Am Just So Lucky

I am just so lucky!

Over the last couple of months I’ve made periodic attempts to ring Stephen on his mobile but without any success. I had left it for a while as I didn’t want to intrude into his problems but I respect him and Yvonne, his wife, a great deal and as the weeks passed with no word from him Ann and I have been increasingly worried.

I rang just now and after a long time a young woman, Stephen’s daughter as it turned out, answered and when I asked for Stephen handed the phone to Yvonne.

Stephen died about three weeks ago, just before Christmas. There is nothing more to say except to repeat that I am just so damned lucky and learning of his death makes me feel just a bit guilty for that luck.
