Lewis

One of my childhood friends died over the weekend and while we weren’t close anymore, it still hit me hard. So, I wrote this… It’s crap but I had to do something...

LewisLewis Chadwick was an annoying kid. One of those kids that really bugs you but somehow, you can’t stop being his friend. I don’t know if it was just because he was close to my

can't think of a more fitting way for you to pay tribute to an old friend and what's more, it's gorgeous. really stunning, di. i knew nothing of the guy before you posted the sad news of his death yesterday, but by now i've this crystal clear picture in my mind, that shifts seamlessly from an image of a cherubic child to that of a wickedly wild young adult. that you mentioned his boots repeatedly - really nice touch. there's something intensely personal about it, as though it's his trademark.

reading that makes me wish with all i have that you'll still be around when i close my eyes for the last time, in the hope that you'd be inspired to write something quite so beautiful about me.

well done you. i love you ♥ .xx

Yeah... his boots are definitely his trademark. Y'know when you're walking along just kinda face-down to the pavement, looking at shoes not faces... I don't know... I just always knew it was Lewis because he always wore those damn boots.

And now I am crying... had to come sooner or later, I guess... ♥

Thanks for thinking it's gorgeous. It's too weird for me to comment on it. I don't think it's even a piece of work to be commented upon. It's just me... laid bare... as ever.

I love you, darling girl. I think, if I were to write you one of these, it would be triple the length and I'd have been crying WAY before now over you leaving me... ♥ xxx

that is so sweet. i totally agree with laurie in the sense that we didn't know him before but now it seems like we really do. also the way you described that he just reappeared, but then disappeared again suddenly. awesome. *hugs* <3 x

Thanks honey!
*hugs galore*

I just had to do something, y'know? And writing is all I do so... voila... thanks again ♥ xxx

How about that. I know a guy called Lewis Chadwick now. At least I feel I do.

Sorry about your loss there Di. It's always an awful shock when you realise that someone has gone.

This brings me to another life lesson. Life is too short. Talk to and treat your friends and family like its your last day on earth. Smile at everyone.

Everyday we all do something "for the last time". Most of these things go past unnoticed. Some of them are big so we can't miss them.

Thanks Deb *hug*

It's so true though... I do tell everyone I love them and I always have a smile for every person I pass in the street. Where's the harm in spreading a smile?!

I'm gonna miss him but I believe there's a better place out there so... ♥ xxx
