It's a good read so I am not spoiling by telling you that at the end one of the key characters says...."because I will be searching for those mementos of always within never..." Those memories of the smell, the look, the voice, the attitude, those are my moments of always within never and I cherish them all. Would that we could bottle them and pass them along the next generation. Wishing you, David and Tyrone all the best in the calendar New Year.
