Gotta love Apple

Isn't "modern technology" amazing? On Wednesday afternoon, we used Facetime to chat to Oakley. He was expecting me. When he saw Quent smiling back from the hospital garden, he said "Oh, Dad. Thank you SO much."  I felt Oakley's spontaneous gasps of gratitude were really owed to the developers at Apple, rather than the people holding the tablet. His relief at seeing Quent looking so well was almost tangible. Priceless.

They chatted on for ages. At one point Oakley asked "Is that a dress you're wearing, Dad?"  Quent told him that in fact he'd had a sex change and he'd be wearing a lot more dresses in the future. Oakley totally ignored this comment and moved the conversation back to chat about Lego Minifigures.
