During the week I said goodbye to my friend Alpha. It was difficult to do and has left a big gap in my life.
I am very thankful to all who have been in contact in recent days. I realise that in the circle of life, people are coping with very heavy crosses and great loss. My heart goes out to parents who have lost a child, husbands, wives, sons and daughters – all grieving. Alpha would not want to usurp anyone’s place in the chain of grief and I know who and what he was. I am glad however that I had the chance to share so much with him and, at day’s end, we got on well.
He had been sick for the past few months but thankfully did not suffer or show signs of pain.
Just want to remember him here.
This is a piece I put on Facebook on Wednesday
These are some of his moments here through the years …. thanks for sharing them and him with me ….
This was done ten years ago!
AND A FEW BITS FROM THE PAST …..
