For A Friend

A good while ago, I got to know a fella who became a friend (nothing more! for those of you with mucky minds, tsk...shame on ye)
and over time, I watched his life pretty much fall apart. Stuck in a situation for over thirty years that was causing him great pain, yet with a sense of loyalty and duty that left him unable to fend for himself....
and, well, ye know me...I gave advice (wanted or not, you ever notice how it`s usually not, hee?) and offered a listening ear, and a shoulder to lean on.
He even visited sunny old Sanday for a holiday, and had a good time here, despite the weather..well, January isn`t really your average tourist season here......
He`s a kind man, and talented...he makes his own living and I`ve seen, and own, some of his work, and there`s no denying his talent..
He has a sense of humour..of a sort..well, hey, as much as any man can have one, har! :P
One of life`s gentle giants.
He`s been through the wringer the past few months....
but, he finally managed to get his life sorted. Moved to a new area, has a new wife and family now, is, in his own words, settled, and happy.
The only sad thing is that he left some friends behind. And sadly, doesn`t have time for them now.
But that doesn`t mean they don`t still care about him, or wonder how he`s doing, and wishing him the best.
So, this is just to say, well done big fella, for getting your life back on track. May the future bring you all good things, contentment, happiness and a stack of good times to turn into golden memories.
Good luck in your new life.
P.S There will be a peedie present in the post soon, for you and the missus. :-)

well, in my opinion, men can't multi task - we all know that - but it a sad fact that they are blinkered - and can only focus on one thing. That - in my opinion is why they can't have two families on the go at the same time. Yes I hear you cry they can - but only if they are in seperate boxes and do not impinge on each other. SO - if a man starts a new life - he is unable to keep both the old and the new on the go at the same time.
