A friend called me this morning. Her mother died a couple of weeks ago after a very long struggle. And I was strangely grateful for what I've been living through the last 13 months, because I understood how to show her compassion and support. Whereas before, however kind I may have wanted to be, it might have been a little bit of an act because I'd had so little pain in my life. Today it was heartfelt. I have been made better and I am glad.
Not that I'm going to write him a thank you note or anything.
