The last rime I saw Hugh was in February when he took the trouble to bring his family from Bradford to Bristol to visit me in hospital. He told me about his future plans -- promotion to sereant 2010, stay in to collect a good pension and then set up his own firm. Some years ago I gave him his Great Grandad's dress sword, which he treasured. I wish so much that he had spoken to me on that fateful evening. Maybe, just maybe, I could have talked him round. I shall never know but the thought remains to haunt Grandad.

What can I say... that Boxing Day walk with Hugh, fix it in your mind with araldite... to remind you that he was here and that you loved him.
