Just in the last couple of weeks.  I mentioned that when I arrived at the retreat centre I experienced temporary amnesia, and then had a full and traumatic recall of my mother's death when she tried to kill both of us in a car crash.  I was pulled out in time, but she died in the flames." "That must have been awful  What happened after?" "Well, my father raised me.  He never remarried.  He was an Anglican priest and very dedicated to his calling both as a priest and as my father." "You must have been very close." "We were.  his death has hit me really hard and it did send me into a sort of tailspin." "Yes, we have it on your record here.  That was when you began seeing us." "That's right." "And you say you're feeling better." "Much better.  I think Carl's friendship, and others in his community have done a tremendous lot to help me. "And it is very kind of you, Carl", says Lawrence to him, "To come all the way down here to show support for your new friend like this." "There is a bit more to the story than that", says Carl.
