You are right Taz we did and still are in some respects, and he is really still is like that or very much wants to be but he has gotten older and I hate that, and try as I might I can't stop time, with nearly twenty years between us, it hurts for him not to be the same as he always has been.
I would not swap him for anyone I just want him to be the same as when I first met him

I also feel cheated that I did not know him first when he was a young man.
