I think he, I think it's just probably really hard for him because he could see that I was pain and there was absolutely nothing he could do. And, you know, there is the traditional man, the 'provider man', the hunter-type thing, and that is an instinctive thing I think, to probably care for their wife, especially if they're in pain.
And I do, I think he felt really helpless, and I don't remember anyone being overly sort of... wondering how he was and everything, which is, I mean, it was, I do remember him laughing, half-laughing, coming back and saying, “Everyone, everyone was asking how you were,” and there was, there was nothing like, I'm sure they did ask he, how he was, but the focus is very much on the Mum, which is not, but it's only half of it. Okay, or maybe 2/3rds of it because we have to go through the physical bit but, you know, they're not, they play a huge part in it as well.
