This is the man who taught me never to judge a human by his cover. I will miss him. I will smile at the memory of our animated debates and conspiracy theories and the way we tossed ironies back and forth. I will remember the twinkle in his eye, the blatant tell that he was only playing at provocateur. And I will never forget the love and pride pouring from him whenever he gazed on his son. I am sorry this life was so hard for you, Jim. We will be there for your beloveds. Rest in peace.
So sorry for your loss : (
ReplyDeleteA beautiful depiction, you captured a connection and Jim s spirit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful man! Who? I feel like I should know.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry. XO
ReplyDeleteWe carry the teachings of those who touch us. I believe the good is never really lost. My sympathy, Angella. He sounds a remarkable soul. xo
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a gentle giant in that photo. I can tell that he was a good soul.
ReplyDeleteYour Friend, m.
Miss A, thank you.
ReplyDeleteIsabella, I know you miss him too.
Ms. Moon, He was a dear friend who struggled with depression. He took his own life on Sunday evening. We are reeling. A couple of years ago, I mentioned him in this post: http://37paddington.blogspot.com/2009/05/noisy-brain-syndrome.html
Rotton Mom, thank you.
Marylinn, he was a remarkable soul, now freed. Thank you.
Mark, he looked fierce with all his tats, and he kind of liked when people misread him, but really he was a gentle artistic spirit.
I'm so sorry for his family, and his friends, such as yourself. I read what you wrote about him in your earlier post. He sounded like a very special human being. May he rest in peace-finally.
ReplyDeleteSending you love ~ <3
