Chris, know the feeling well enough - up to now, I still, roundabout the date of my motorcycle accident, which is like the day after the average sort of target date for what they call the poppy day run - if that means much to some people - I pop round my original wife's grave, and generally play her a song or two off things like my phones or MP3 players, etc. - generally trying to sort of play her some songs I think she would have liked if she'd heard those newish bands, etc., but, life goes on - on her gravestone, it has the lyrics of the classic Journey song engraved there - ...wheel in the sky...

Guys it would have been one of my special friend's 26th birthday tomorrow. Her name was Marie Peake and she tragically died at an untimely age of 23 on May the 31st, 2011, in the morning, from airway collapse. She had lots of health problems. We had our ups and downs but we remained civil until her untimely death.E-mail Facebook and iMessage christopherh40@xxxxxxxxx On 12/10/2013 19:29, RobH. wrote:Thanks for sharing, friends can be as precious as family, more so sometimes,With questions, concerns, or issues please contact the list admin at: beto.arreola22@xxxxxxxxx , on skype on betoa221, or twitter betoa221.

On one arm is my mother, on the other his favourite horse. No comments please! Other things too, though hardly discernable now. We wouldn't be allowed to lift and tan them even if they were. I never bothered myself.

Not sure of details as of yet, but, he was also into biking, etc., and he(obviously) also lived here in South Africa, so unless it was just some or other sort of natural disease/cause, it's also quite possible it was to dowith an accident, etc., but anyway. Anyway, he was an old buddy, who I'd known for roundabout 20 years, and aside from all my tattoo's having been done by him, that includes theapparently world first, actual braille tattoo's that he figured out how todo, of his own accord before I'd even gotten around to asking him about a thought that had been simmering in the back of my own mind. Also, his sort of starting point as a tattoo artist was him practicing onhis buddies in another buddy's flat, back in the early 90's, and even thenhe was doing damn near perfect work - I still get comments about thedetailed shading on the bit of barbed wire around my one arm, which is alsosort of the only tattoo I have where the design has no really meaningfulreason as far as I'm concerned, but, it was something he wanted to test/try out back in the day, and I liked the look of his designs back then already.Anyway, like my one other bud has already said, we'll see each other on the flip side, and if I ever want to get any more art work done, it's going tobe a bit hard to find someone who can compare to this friend of mine that near the end had like a 6 month waiting period if he didn't know/like you personally...<smile> Stay well, Ant!
