lunarvibrations 27th January 2010

one of the proudest moments of my life was the priviledge of eing asked to speak at the funeral of Henry. I really did not know what to say but tried to hold it together. At the end of the funeral I asked the minister if I could say something further and asked the interpreter to interpret in bosnian also. It went something like this. "Friends when you think of Henry try and smile, when you have a coffee a cigarette or a beer think about all the times you did that with him and the good times and laughter you shared and he shared with you and how it felt. If you do that you will always feel him in your heart and if you do that he will NEVER die! I hope I did you proud old friend! At the end of the funeral I remember hearing the muslim mosque and the call to prayers. I thought that it sounded nice and very appropriate at that moment knowing how much he loved being there in Sarajevo and amongst the culture and people!
