We're happy you're doing better

I miss George too
During an interview yesterday, Paul McCartney admitted that he held George Harrison’s hand while he was on his deathbed. "It’s funny, even at the height of our friendship - as guys - you would never hold hands. But it was lovely. I sat with him for a few hours when he was in treatment just outside New York. He was about 10 days away from death, as I recall. He was very poorly. But it was lovely, really lovely, and the years just stripped back. It was good, it was like we were dreaming. He was my little baby brother, almost, because I’d known him that long."
