My dear Friends
One of the most comforting things at the moment is the capacity for Friendship amongst the people here, obviuosly to greater or lesser degrees. There is mainly a kind of camaraderie amongst the patients,usually in the garden round the smokers table! But people look out for each other and that helps the staff too.
One of my greatest friends was an English Muslim, with whom I used to pray sometimes in the day or evening. He was a a bright exuberatnt chap, now gone from the ward and missed by me .One fo the great things he did was to bring in his guitar and we would spend hours playing and singing together.The other patients seemed to enjoy it too. Now the guitar has gone , but at least there is a piano.
Bye for now

You make friends in the most unlikely places!!! Take care, thinking of you. God bless. B x
I actually think Friends Place is rather a good place to make friends, these days, as so few people otherwise have enough time for each other. However exuberance is my second nature and caring is my first so it suits me M x
