Loving husband Malcolm Topper has learned to accept that there will come a time when the woman he loves will no longer be able to share with him the memories that stitch together the colourful patchwork of her life.
So, it’s of great comfort to him to know that, contained within a pink lever-arch folder, are the tracks of her years – the music that made her, and the associated stories that make those uplifting tunes so meaningful.
It is to that folder he’ll turn when her condition deteriorates to the extent that the intimate conversations they have shared during 18 years of happy marriage sadly no longer flow.
