I Have Lost People I Love From Cancer
Today is a day I always dread, you were one of my dearest dearest friends and I miss you so much. I miss your jokes, your teasing, but most of all your guidance. You gave the best advice and so often I think to myself "what would you tell me to do?"
It's taken me many years, but today I finally realised, this isn't the day you were taken from us, that happened over the course of 2 years, when you were sick with chemo, when you were in hospital having operations, when you spent all your energy fighting this horrible disease. Today marks the day that suffering ended, when you were no longer in pain, when you finally found peace.
I remember that day when I was in a club with my friend, you were there with your friends - we joined you only when we wanted you to buy us drinks, and then we persuaded you to drive us home to the other side of the city with a promise of food which we didn't have. I stole a tape from you teasing you on your taste in music - I never gave you back that tape
Dear brother, peace be with you always ... For you
