Mr Dear Mr Larkin

You have been in my thoughts a lot since Fozzy told me of the diagnosis when we were out surfing one Sunday morning last year. I will never forget the afternoon you came into the shop to buy a diamond for your wife. I seem to remember it was for your 10 year wedding anniversary. I showed you the biggest and best diamonds I had; you were intent on giving Maz the most beautiful stone possible. Unfortunately the most beautiful stone possible was outside your budget so you kicked me in the nuts as hard as you could over the price until I had tears in my eyes and and the diamond was within budget.

I really hope Maz is wearing the diamond and it sparkles as much now as it did that afternoon and I really hope you have enjoyed seeing it on her finger. I have always liked you and enjoyed hearing of your exploits because like the diamond you really sparkled.


Kind regards,


David Benn
