Staying the Course – Crimson’s Creative Challenge #93

Posted on by

Crispina’s challenge has sent me down a path I couldn’t seem to avoid. It’s been a week since Pat’s death and we are still reeling so I apologise ahead of time!

Staying the Course

He had never been afraid of the dark or going it alone before and he wasn’t going to start now. He was, however, a mix of angry and sad that life had dealt him yet another blow.

“You can grieve for a bit but then you have to keep moving forward, my friend. But know this. I have your back and when you see a light in the darkest corners, that’ll be me, there for you.

“And, when your own journey is over – and that’s not for a really long time – I’ll be there waiting for you.”

  1. Wow, Dale. This is powerful (and a beautiful Tattoo for the best friend who’ll always have his back). I know you’ll always have his back, too. Hugs across the miles, where distance does not matter.

  3. Dear Dale,

    A wonderful tribute to life lived to the fullest in so few years. Well written and heart breaking.

    Shalom and lotsa comforting hugs whenever you need them,

  9. Î just simply cannot imagine all the ‘stuff’ life has been throwing at your family…. And this ‘last sign of love and friendship’, a tattoo on the back as an (eternal) memorial to a lost friend is probably something of the most beautiful (if terrifying) they could have done…. Sending you a few hundred hugs to hold on to, to you and your kids and the family and friends of Pat. Plus my love, of course, my precious friend.
