Letter: Phillip Coffey shares what happiness is

Phillip Coffey writes:
What would make me happy - Finding a fork in the road - ‘not taking’, with my wife Billie, grandchildren and two blue eyed babies by my side.’ There is a table covered by a red and white checkered cloth. All the fixings for the taking - still warm. All of life’s questions answered for the young-ins placed under a small rock that can be easily lifted - mostly well hidden.
