I know full well how Mikeys dad feels about his lost friend,from the age 7 i had two friends both called stuart,they were 1 and 2 years older than i,we were ,the three musketers,i can honestly say a day never went bye when we were not together,we were no angels but were good kids,we went to the same schools lived in the country on farms ect,when i was 16 i moved to australia (from england)i lost touch for 4 years,upon my return to england we carried on as friends,i went on to join the air force and lost touch (they both stayed in the area we were all born in,i never went back having made a life in the military,i am know 64 and earlyer this year i decided to look up my two childhood best friends,only to find they both died of cancer,even after not seeing them for 48 years i was totaly devestated and cried like a baby for a whole week,still do when i thinks of them,i dont care what people think but i loved those boys like nothing else.
