After months of me nagging him my good buddy Keither has finally gotten off his arse and gotten an LJ. So drop over to
w5ktt and say hi.
He is the most amazing fellow. I've known him for 9 years now, and he is still as wonderful as ever.
He has been through so much with me... and I've been through a lot with him. He is the most amazingly strong kind loving individual you could ever hope to meet. He has been through so much in his life, breaking his neck at 19 diving somewhere too shallow. He's now been quadriplegic longer than he's been able-bodied. 46 now. I hope that he will use this LJ not only to stay in contact but I hope that he will find his voice to tell his story again.
He writes everything with a mouth stick and he's just gotten into ham radio, which means he spends most of his time ignoring me *pointed look at
just2draw * (what is it with the men in my life? I bet you even Tatsu aka Jaffa - (Japanese Anne Forever Friend Always as Pete has christined him) will ignore me from time to time when he's here. However, he's not going to be around long enough for me to put up with that so I'll just pull the annoying big sister card.)
But, Keither has always been there... when I am feeling down and just want to cry my heart out he's been there with a shoulder and sound advice. I'm so grateful to have him in my life. He knows when I'm down and won't rest until I spill my guts, and as much as I hate it sometimes I think it's a good thing.
You, my darling bro, are a shining beacon of hope and strength in my life. I love you dearly, and I look forward to that day when one day we'll be in the same room and I'll be able to give you the biggest hug and say thank you.
I just wanna say bro, I am so proud of you... and I am proud to call you my brother. *eskimo kisses*
I love you Keither.
