Sadly, Gary will not get his wish to see Christmas. Gary's condition has worsened now to the point he is on a syringe driver, he is being cared for at home which is what he wanted. I really am at a loss for words, all I can think of is his poor family, poor beautiful Claire.
From a personal point of view I can only regret what I didn't say, back then I was too young, in later years I thought it was too late. I only wish now I'd been able to say what really should have been said!
