Azura & Saga Ruby
I had arranged to meet Bill Forsstrom, a Facebook friend, on the 28th September 2010.  He had flown over from Cincinatti, spent a few days in London then came to Southampton for a couple of days before heading home on QM2 on the 1st October.  He wasn't that keen on seeing Azura, preferring the sweet little girl that was Saga Ruby.  General plans went awry with my mum still in hospital and the doctor in charge doing absolutely nothing to find the reason and letting her become dehydrated by refusing a drip even though she was practically unconcious most of the time, so I didn't know if I'd be able to make it at all.  As it was, I could go and we'd watch the sailings after a brief diversion to a solicitor the other end of town.  I was very pleased Bill didn't mind being dragged along once I'd arrived at Town Quay on the slightly repainted Hotspur because he kept me focused and it was the first time talking to people about it that day I hadn't got upset.
