No, but I'm dying to, he is very, very funny (the ket story!) and sounds like has had a rough old ride. Was it really good then?

Yep. It really affected me for days after, without sounding overly dramatic, and still makes me teary if I think about it. It's funny and heartbreaking at the same time to read of how their loss impacted on him as a little boy, and the repercussions that it's had for him. It's a real love letter to his dad (just welling up thinking about it) as well. Just a beautiful piece of writing.
