My Father also, who died over 30 years ago when I was too young to appreciate him.
There are so many things I wish I could say now and so much I wish he could tell me.

As a Minister of Atheism I wish to light candles for those unbelievers who have courageously declared their doubts and will surely lose their lives for speaking truth to power.
Going tomorrow (10 Jan., '16) to a memorial service for a niece (early 40's) who had a "diabetic related event" Christmas Eve ... passed away a few days after Christmas. Good kid!!

For Tom... fly high my amazing friend, though no doubt you are already making the most of your next adventure... rocking with Bowie, dressing up with Prince and sharing a smoke with Marley.

Dearest Tom. Two years tomorrow afternoon. You are so terribly missed. xxx

For My grandmother... A truly remarkable woman, with an MBE from the Queen to prove it. She taught me so much about life but failed at her attempt to turn me into a proper Lady. 6 years without her feels like a lifetime. I miss you. xxx
