For those of you who have been praying for Paul and Danièle, thank you. Paul died this morning at 3.00am. He didn't suffer very much. Please pray for Danièle, for their children Sylvain, Luc, Lydie and Isabelle, for Paul's parents, family and friends. I saw him last Friday and I'm happy to say that I gave him a letter telling him what his friendship had meant to me. I had been going to"do it another day" but something prompted me to do it then. I'm glad I did as that was the last time I spoke to him. On Wednesday he forwarded one of "those" e-mails to me. You know the sort, with Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw in the subject box. I didn't read it but I didn't delete it. Reading it now, the theme of the slide show is: "Les choses les plus precieuses ne peuvent pas etre achetées ou construites par l'homme. Elles sont les rires, les sens, et l'amour" (Rough trans: The most precious things can't be bought or built by man. They are smiles, the senses, and love." ) I am so very glad that I knew him. But it was not for long enough...
