Mother,
When I was 19 or so and living in Grimsby devoid of job and bereft of opportunity and prospects, it was you I could turn to and know you would save me. I was lost. I was smoking way too much dope, mixing with the wrong people. I was thin, unhealthy, anti-social, broke, depressed (maybe) and I needed an escape route.
If you had not suggested I move to Darlington I might still be there scratching a living from the filth of that town.
I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for giving me the opportunity to start over.
Alan
