Anthony has died
Over the past week or so I've been posting my Christmas cards, including one to my friend Anthony
Well, I've just received a reply telling me that he died only a few days ago, in early December
Sad, yes, but it doesn't really affect anyone else on this forum
What is of note, though, is that although I have relatives and other friends that I keep in touch with by phone calls & emails, and I get letters from the bank and so on, I now have only two friends who write proper pen & paper letters.
