Teelzebub - gone but never forgotten

As more and more friends, parents, neighbours, relatives, old teachers, etc. go, I'm coming to understand that it never stops. I'm trying to get into a more zen state of mind about it, accepting it as part of life, but it never feels right. Friend and neighbour of mine died the other month on the road, he was younger than me, in his 20s I think.

Makes you appreciate the time you have, at least.

 

Life is too short to worry about everything. Worry less and live life to its fullest.

 

5 years have now gone by, I wonder what he would have made of these crazy times. Damn Tel, I still miss you mate.

 

I'm sure it would have been... colourful.

I can't believe it's been five years already.

 

Wow, five years. It doesn't feel like five months, let alone five years!

 

Bugger

 

Yes, that's how Tel would have wanted to be referenced.

 

Still in my sig. Forever in my sig.

 

I don't know if it's just this time of year, when I get quiet and reflective, but I still miss my mate.

Keeping the memory alive!

 

I've been like that this last week or so. A good friend died unexpectedly mid Jan 2 years ago, still feels raw even after all the hundreds of thousands who have died since.

 

I miss them all. I hope they are looking down on us.

 

or in Tel's case up... if he got his own way !!

I don't think he did though whether he likes it or not

 

At least it's warm down there

 

A pint for the departed!

 

To absent friends.

 

The activity in Waynio's thread reminded me that I hadn't checked in.

Still in our thoughts.

 

Still miss the old bugger !

 

Challenge accepted - came back to piss him off again!

 

Can't believe its 9 years.

Up Yours Tel, plenty here still miss ya.
