[Margaret Pilkington]

Cashy, we are moulded by life experiences.....and there is always someone worse off anyway.
It is how we deal with the things that life throws at us, that makes us who we are...it humbles us. Makes us realise that there are some things we can never be in full control of....however much we like to think we are.
And the fact that you have told Eric not to beat himself up over it, after telling us that that is what you have done for 30 years.......is something of a lesson.
Respect to you Cashy.
