It's taken me sometime to actually write this. But as the 2nd anniversay is coming up in a few days I just felt the need to say that when I read this thread 2 yrs ago with tears running down my face I also felt a sense of happiness that Colin was obviously loved by so many friends. I'm so glad that he found his niche in life and that he had you all and that he loved what he was doing.
I was at the funeral and the sheer numbers of people there came as a big shock to me and made me realise that he had a whole new life that I was never a part of. Inevitably his death opened up a whole can of very emotional and mixed memories for me that I thought were buried a long time ago. It's been difficult at times to cope with all this but with help and support from some very special people I'm getting there. Most of you don't know me, but may guess who I am, Keith's is the only name I recognise (yes May & Aug 1982), but I'd like to send thanks to all you special people who knew and loved Colin. I'll be thinking about him especially on Monday..cheers Colin and sorry I stopped being a part of your life..
