He eventually lost so much because of this, his wife, son, job, home...and so much more. Just days before he died we had a long chat about his life and eventual death. He told me that his life had been a torment and that every day he felt he had to battle through hell...dreading all his tomorrows. Like myself, he was not a religious person and had no belief in God. However, he found comfort in his belief that once he died he would cease to be and his living hell would be over. I hope his belief came true for him. Sue xx

	Interesting what Stella said, ie "different people... different generations ... transcribe things in many different ways" My daughter's a historian and she likes the quote "The past is another country - they see things differently there" Sue
