What to say, John, I simply do not have the words to express how I feel. If however I did, I smile at the delight you would be taking in correcting my spelling and grammar.
I try words like kind, frustrating, forgiving, funny, combative, clever, rebel, father, professional, loyal, opinionated, northern, friend. They are all relevant but none, even combined, can represent the smallest part of the complicated whole. I may not have the right words, but I do have the right memories, more than enough to counter this deep sadness, and that is amazing in and of itself.
I am going to keep those memories till I can meet with others that knew you, and my God the time we will have reminiscing wonderful, warm words and times.
Well, maybe I can share one that always makes me smile, you drag me off the phone and halfway across the office to share the humour in a sign that read ‘The stationary cupboard has moved.’
You were and always will be priceless.
