Good lord, I'd forgotten about sending that in last week! Hope you don't mind Dave, but I meant every word of it - should really have mentioned it last night, but like I said it had slipped my mind!

I had just come of the phone after chatting with Lou for nearly an hour, a dear lady who has so much to put up with in her own life, but I love to hear her laugh while she is on the phone to me, making people happy just makes me so happy.
I saw Barton had made a post and clicked on it to read it, I saw Dave Roach written at the start of the letter and truly did not think for one second it was me that was being written about. I soon did when I read on just a few more lines.
I had to log of the forum, the Saturday night clown was now reduced to tears, the song that I have always felt best describes me and my life came back into my head. Smokie Robertson, “The Tears Of A Clown”
I’m not sharing this with you to get you to feel sorry for me, or to get you to think I’m some sort of special person, I’m far to proud a man to ever want pity, all five foot four and one half a inches of me.
Those who are close to me know the life I have had, so many doing wrong things by me, so many who should have loved me and been there for me, but did not and were not when I needed them.
I promised myself at just ten years old that nothing that ever happened to me would ever be allowed to change who I was, or the person I wanted to be and I’m happy that I have succeeded in those aims and have hopefully spread happiness to all those who meet me.
I have always had the love and support of my son, I knew and believed that one day in my life a person would come into it, who would love me for who I was and be there at the times I just may need that shoulder to cry on.
I believe that no matter how bad life gets at times, its not the worlds fault, or the people I meet, therefore I should never take it out on anyone else, its just life and by trying to spread goodwill, trying to help others when you can, will bring its own rewards, as you can feel you did the right thing and were there when somebody needed someone to be there for them.
Andy I’m so touched and moved that you wrote that letter about me, I’m so glad that now in my life I have the love of the person I was looking for all my life, my Carol. I’m so privileged to have made such great friends on this forum and while I may have been the one to have got the ball rolling for Lewis, I could never have done anything with out the support and kindness the members on this forum showed.
I thank you Andy so much and all my friends on this forum, the world can be a great place and all it takes sometimes is people to work together to try and make a difference and together we did just that.

Like you said on Saturday, nearly 5ft 5ins Dave! There are times in life Andy when half an inch extra is very important, you should see me in my platform shoes, wearing them I can reach up and get the salt an vinegar down from the counter and put it on myself |

What an amazing guy you are Dave. There is absolutely no doubt in mind that you should be the Fan of the year. Thank you for all that you have done for Lewis and all of his family. A man of short stature (like myself) but as tall as a giant when it comes to the important things in life. You are a very generous man, in all the ways that matter in life. I hope to buy you a pint in the very near future. All the best Dave. Lewis sends his love to you and Carol too.
