Even when all your friends started getting theirs you weren’t bothered and just carried on flashing your (gorgeous) gummy smile to anyone you met.

For a while it was touch and go whether he would survive the thrombosis that highlighted his underlying condition. But he did. He was on a cocktail of medication, and we had [...]
