Mine was a boy called Bernard. It was in the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital around 1974. I was nearly 10 years old. I was in for a heart operation, him the same I think. We used to play on our toy boxes, which had wheels on, around the ward. I had yet to have my operation but for some reason this one particular evening he was wired up to heart monitors. I wanted him to come over to my bed but he said he couldn't because of the wires so I crept over to his, avoiding Sister at her desk. I tiptoed over and at the side of his bed, bent over and kissed him, lips closed, and then scooted back to my bed. It was all quite innocent and lovely. I did, however, see him for years after in the out-patients department at our follow up appointments.
