“ I just called to say I am sorry”

Did anyone else hear the heart-rending broadcast from the ITU consultant on ‘Sunday’, Radio 4 this morning?

He wrote it inspired by ‘I Just Called to Say I Love You’.

He was describing calling a woman with news that her husband had been admitted with C19 and was now on a ventilator. He was sorry that he could not hold her hand, that she could not hold her husband’s hand and that she could not see how sorry the doctor was. Later he described calling her to say he had deteriorated and then that he had died.

I listened to it with tears streaming down my face. There was such compassion.

Another reason to stick to the government’s advice, I think.

Tweedle I also heard that item, and thought it was beautiful.
