'I wish you could see it - it's an incredible sight - br there's this unbelievable river of people - br like a Ganges or a Mississippi - br all moving at their various speeds br according to age and infirmity and determination, br all races and colours too, br yes, a bit of strain and pain on some faces, br but such a feeling of goodwill br as I've never experienced before- br cheerier than a Hallmark card - br all facing forward, carried by the others br and superbly marshalled - the angels - br so there's every support you could imagine, br I don't know why I ever had cold feet about it, br I feel that the future is rosy... br but the present's even better.... br see you soon. Oh by the way, br forget sentiment and keepsakes, all that - br sling the marathon medal in the casket. It reminds me br of that last day. Funnily enough, it's rather br similar in a way, as we approach the finishing line - br ' the pearly gates' ha ha; br yes, see you soon. Time flies, doesn't it? ' br br 'And that' said the medium, turning up the lights, br 'is all we've time for this session. I hope br it makes you feel better, dear. Most of my clients br say so, they go out happier...Yes, br I'll take an Amex card...
