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.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
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!!
Lemmy, who was buried yesterday. The world has lost its most unique bassist and one of the biggest gentlemen ever to have existed.
My father, who would have turned 80 tomorrow, gone eleven years on the 20th of this month...
I think I'll light a candle for David Bowie.
The family of 16 year old Franziska Blöchliger.
I light two candles today. One for Alistair who never got to gaze into his mother's eyes and one for his mother who loves and misses him so very much.
I'm lighting a candle for all the children whose lives were ruined or cut short by violence, neglect or abuse.
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
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.
You'll take the heavens by storm and love every minute of it!
For my wonderful father who was gone too young. I will remember his smile and sweet kindness forever.
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
My mum ..my uncle ..and my friend Dirty Martini ..RIL 😃❤

To two of my friends who lived in the streets without telling me (how could they?) and they froze to death one very cold New Years Day behind a dumpster.
