| Comment | Had a right one today.
My mum and aunt don't get on, and the aunt's not been well. They haven't seen each other in a few years. Years of smoking, drinking etc. My mum got a tip-off that her sister had declined a lot, and I went to see how she was, as she still likes me.
Basically had to tell my mum: yeah, I think your sister, my aunt, really will be lucky to see 2024 a wee bit. The pregnant pause as it went in will stick with me; the 5 short seconds of heavy, thick silence. |
