A distressing email this morning tells me my oldest (and only remaining) friend has been admitted to a hospice for cancer victims. I can't get to see him but he must be in a bad way as he can no longer read. I understand that letters will be read to him but what on earth can I say?
Routine expressions of regret would sound hollow. It is no good reminiscing about schooldays, when first we met, as we both disliked them and I don't want to remind him of anything depressing.
I would welcome suggestions.
