This afternoon C and I went up to see John. John taught me in high school, and for the last few years has been teaching out here. At the start of the year he found out he had a brain tumor after complaining of headaches, blackouts and forgetfulness for three months (He went twice to a doctor and they told him to take a panadol). It was hard to see him in the state he was in but he held our hands and I think he said my name a few times, he also smirked when I cracked a couple of funnies. But he really wasn't with it. Wendy (who made me some great woolen socks and is his wife) doesn't think he will make it for much longer.
