Twenty Years On

Philip died 20 years ago. He had leukaemia. I was his bone marrow donor. He was 54. “…He was my brother, four years older than I…” Every year on the 8th of the 8th I have written some words as a memorial, as a token of life and a retriever of his memory. Some words below on the 20th anniversary of his departure. Thoughts always.
