Lost friends...

  I see a good mate of mine everywhere I go, and quite often. Not in the "I see dead people" sort of way, but people who look like him, behave with his particular & peculiar mannerisms, bounce in the same way he bounced when he walked, same shaped grin. I figure he has unplugged from the grid and has gone universal. He always was larger than life. It brings me great joy to be reminded of him regularly, so many good memories. It's when I am emotionally low that the tragedy of it all strikes and fucks me up. 😕

  I have memorial tattoos of five friends on their bikes, they are just a few of my absent friends. Sadly I can't even remember all those who have died on motorcycles, then there's cancer, suicide and other misadventures.Natural causes is the big killer now days!

  I ran into a guy that I'd grown up with. We'd played backyard cricket, skateboarded, kicked the footy, 1:1 basketball anyway you get it..... I'd never seen him at the nightclub until this very night. He was just being him....I put him in a cab for home and finished the night as usual. I awoke to a knock at the door and the trembling voice of Cheryl from next door was filled with panic, and grief. At approximately 9am that morning this 22(if my memory serves correctly) year old was found dead, hanging from his mates backyard tree with by a telephone cord. His visit to the club was obviously his way of saying goodbye. RIP Mick....we miss you mate. - Posted from rhpmobile

  I also lost a best friend this year. She was taken by liver cancer after getting through and surviving breast cancer. When my youngest child was born she let us live with her for a few weeks due to emergency c section. When ever she would come over to my house she would blow her car horn. She passed away a few months ago this year and about a month ago we had Mormons at the gate wanting to give us reading material and it was entitled " Can the dead live again "?. So then went to finish getting ready to take my youngest to kindy and we hear a car horn and he says her name is here to pick him up and take him to kindy....Totally heartbreaking... :(. R.I.P. to love ones and friends. - Posted from rhpmobile

  the love we have for them will always remain. the range of emotions will cycle through the natural progression until hopefully we find peace. dependent upon the nature of their demise is dependent upon the emotions we experience. hold those who are still with you close & remember to tell them how much they mean to you. don't let another day pass without embracing somebody who has reached out & touched you. don't bring yesterday into your thoughts of today, today is a gift & it is a reminder we should love like there is no tomorrow.
