Poor old Ed. It made me all 1 up when I heard the news about his death. He meant an 2 lot to me. We had known each other 3 all our lives, ever since we grew up in the same 4 . I should have written to him before, but I’m not much good at 5 . All my 6 time is taken up driving the cab. I’m on the go all day, driving from one 7 to another. We used to get together, but it's been a long time since our last 8 . Mostly we just kept in touch with the occasional card. I'd been meaning to write a proper letter for a long time, but kept 9 it. Then last week I finally got round to it, only to get the bad news just as I was on my way to the mail box. Whoever says you should never put off till tomorrow what you can do today is 10 right.
