1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,279
Speaker 2: Lynn wrote to us about her brother Grant, who's experienced

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: a really tough couple of years.

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 3: Grant's a widower. He's got three adult children.

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: He and his wife, Debbie, were married for twenty five years,

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: and in two thousand and one, Debbie was diagnosed with MS.

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: She became paralyzed, she was bedridden, and in twenty twenty

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: her condition deteriorated significantly. Grant lost his job of twenty

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: years at a printing company. It was closed down due

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: to a lack of customers, so he stayed home and

11
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: gave Debbie twenty four our care. In September last year,

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 2: this is tough, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: not long after that, Debbie passed away. So Grant is

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: on fortnightly chemotherapy to maintain his life for as long

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: as possible. Lynn knows that her brother would never ask

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: for anything. Here's the guy that looks after everyone else

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: and puts himself last. So she's trying to put together

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: well a bucket list for him of things that he

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: can do with his family. So we have Lynn on

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: the line. Hello, Lynn, Hi, Amanda, Hi drooned he Oh, Grant.

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: Sounds quite extraordinary and what a tough time.

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is an amazing man and he's really struggling

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: at the moment.

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 4: Oh man, but I I feel powerless. What can we

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: actually do?

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: What would he like? What's the sort of thing that

27
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: would cheer him up?

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: You know, honestly, my brother is the kind of man

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: that would never ask for anything, and he has worked

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: so hard, and it's meant that as a family, they

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: haven't really done a lot of things that you and

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: I would do normally, go out for dinner, go to

33
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: the movies, a concert, you know, a weekend away. They

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: haven't done any of those things for such a long time.

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: Twenty years Debbie was sick and they just never went

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: out as a family. Someone always had to be home

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: to help her and look after her. They're the sort

38
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: of things that I think he's missed out.

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I guess when you have someone like that, you

40
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: sort of work in a tag team, so you don't

41
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: share those experiences. Would that bring some joy to his

42
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: life if we could organize that kind of stuff for him, Oh.

43
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: You have no idea. Absolutely, he is just struggling so

44
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: much at the moment.

45
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 4: And just to get an idea of what we can

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 4: put together for him. What does he like? What's he into?

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: You know, my brother is he's a bit of an

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: amateur photographer, so he loves to get out into the

49
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: into nature and take photos of landscapes and animals and

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: nature and all those sorts of things. And as I said,

51
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, they just haven't been out to restaurants or

52
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: movies or concerts or anything like. But you know those

53
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: sorts of things that you know, the average family probably

54
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: takes for grants.

55
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: And he's up to go to a concert or something

56
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: like it.

57
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 5: Could you know, if we got like, I don't know,

58
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 5: there's a lot of people performing at the moment. I'm

59
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 5: just off the top of my head, anyone would you

60
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 5: like to go and see that's coming to town?

61
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: Oh look, I don't think he'd be too concerned as

62
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: to who. It was, just the fact that he could,

63
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: he could have a night out and have some kind

64
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: of experience like that. You know, he would just jump

65
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: at anything, you know, And when he's when he's not

66
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: recovering from chemo, he's out trying to do what he

67
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: can at the moment.

68
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: Well, look that's given us some things to work with.

69
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: I think the brief here is for him to hang

70
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 2: out with his family and to bring some joy into

71
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: his life. I think we can help you with this, Linn.

72
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: Leave it with us.

73
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 5: Lin We'll put it. We won't put it on the

74
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 5: back burner. It's on the front, but it's on the

75
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 5: big front.

76
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: It's actually on our favorite burner on the stove, and

77
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: everyone has a favorite.

78
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Amazing.

79
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: Well, you know, we haven't done anything.

80
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: Yet, but I'm so glad Lyn that you got in

81
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,960

Speaker 4: From time to time? Is there any stories you can

Speaker 4: tell us about Lynn?

96
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 5: You know, when you were younger, how she irritated you

97
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 5: or did she break anything of yours?

98
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,960

Speaker 5: And Lynn, you can't say anything about Grant, can you?

104
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 5: Is there anything that he does that irritates you?

105
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: Oh? I could give him a run for his money

106
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: on the stories. But you know, as he's got older,

107
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: he's not too bad.

108
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: Well you know what. In fact, Grant, there isn't much right.

109
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm going to cry. There's not a

110
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: lot of rivalry going on here. Because Lynn got in

111
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: touch with us and told you how told us how

112
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,240

Speaker 2: well the last twenty years, Grant, Lynn loves you very much,

114
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: and she got in touch with us to see if

115
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 2: we could bring some joy into your life. She said,

116
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: there's a lot of family experiences you haven't been able

117
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: to have because you've been looking after your wife and

118
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: now with your own illness. So she said you liked music,

119
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: she said you liked outdoors yep.

120
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 5: And she also said you want to be on the

121
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 5: radio and sort of asked for this stuff. So we've

122
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 5: set up the guise of a sibling rivalry competition just

123
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 5: so we could get you on.

124
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,560

00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: really like to have a meal out, and having a

134
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: meal out with your family hasn't been something that's been

Speaker 1: Grand thank you for those. But there's other people that

150
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: need things more than me. You know, I'm all right,

151
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: don't I don't need to do things. I've got my family,

152
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: and you know there's other more deserving people than me.

153
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 5: Lynn said, you'd say that, and that's why we got

154

155
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: All these things planned to bag my sister.

156
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 3: She's so lovely, you know.

157
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: She told me this stuff coming, and you know we're

158
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: going to do this game. And now I can't lie.
