RIP my dear friend John
I went to a coffee shop to put this video together, trying my best to hold my tears back from the world around me. I had my earphones on while having this song on repeat. Almost finished, I had to get up and leave as the tears crept closer to my eyes.
πDoves/pigeons are really significant to me. They are my sign from heaven.
When I got to my bike these fathers were all around it, nowhere else. That was it, the dam broke its banks .
As I turned around I met a good friend who battles daily to stay alive due to mental torture with invasive thoughts. We shared kind words as we both cried. I was telling this person about you John, and in doing so, this person and I made a tiny plan . A like spark of hope to keep the embers burning. We all need someone to help us keep our fire going when we can't do it for ourselves. I myself have walked some of that path and it gets very dark. I will never forget and i am forever grateful to those who fanned my flames and showed up when my fire was almost out.
Dear John,
You have left an indelible mark on all of whom have crossed your path.....a legacy!
One that teaches us how to truly be human. There are not enough positive would to describe you, your ways and your character, and how you showed up in the world as a friend, son, father, husband, brother, neighbour, co-worker etc.
As Donna Taggart 's song says, I'm Jealous of the Angels around the throne tonight.
We will all love and miss you forever. It's true what they say, the best ones are always taken. Rest now my friend, until I see you again.
Your friend,
Thelma π«
