One night, Fred was away with wok, so Tom said, I think you'd enjoy this. He brought through a documentary about the TCC.

It was telling of the chorale's continuous struggle with members passing on, may due to HIV and AIDS related diseases.

The story was told with the assistance of music by a member of the choral, Kristopher Jon Anthony. It was made even more poignant as during the recording of the film three members of the choral passed on, and I pray they are in heaven right now.

Tom had chosen correctly. I was in tears before we got more than 20 minutes into the documentary.

We spent ages holding each other, and crying. It was the time that we became close friends. People who trusted each other with our emotions.

When Fred returned that night, he asked what was wrong, and when he saw the tape, he said "OH, now I know." He knew the power of the story, and did not want to face it again, not at that time.

My time with BT was going well, and I was enjoying it tremendously. But just after I started there, in fact days after, I ended up in hospital to have my appendix out. This was a test that was to prove to be a blessing.

I was confined to home for two weeks after the operation, without doing any form of lifting, bending, or sudden movements. This precluded most work I may have to do, and meant I was forced to relax. I was able to return to BT without any problems, but two weeks down on pay.
