Hey Guys
Today's blog is serious and I would like to share with you something that has recently happened in my life.
I think I have lost my spark for blogging and I would
like to share with you why I think it had disappeared. A week ago a close
friend of mine committed suicide. I am part of an on-line gaming community and
have been for the past eight or so years but I met Fred around three years ago
he lived in Canada and was a great member of the group. Even though I never had
the chance to meet him face to face I spoke to him almost every day and we
bantered and abused each other in a funny way. Fred was due to come over in the
summer and we planned a whole week of joking around and him teaching me how to
cook American/Canadian food. Last weekend I went to Manchester to watch Rocky
Horror on stage I came back home on the Sunday I was home for four hours before
we got told the news and everything seemed to stop for a split second next thing
I knew tears were rolling down my cheeks. The minutes that followed after the news team
speak was silent everyone in the squad was in a state of shock. Even though we
had never met and were miles apart we had helped each other through tough times
again and again. Yesterday you were cremated at 6pm our time and again team
speak had never been so quiet and on our Facebook page we created a video of
all our favourite memories of Fred. I find it amazing how someone you have never met can have so much impact in your life. No matter how many times you have dealt with death each individual death will affect you in a different way.
Rest In Peace Fred
The tears and sadness we now feel are a small price to
pay for having you in our lives but you will continue to live on in our
memories and you will never be forgotten Rest In Peace Fred
