The last week has been a terrible time for us all, living a nightmare that we have all struggled to come to terms with, but the one thing I can say is that Bill would be so very proud of the way that everyone has been there for each other and pulled together, united in their support. It just goes to show that we all carry a little bit of Bill inside ourselves; that deeply entrenched natural instinct to care for one another. So, if we are looking for positives to come out of something this painful, it is that new friendships will be formed and cemented for life…and Bill would just love that. Nothing was more important to Bill than those close to him, so let’s keep close to each other and do what he would want. Bill is so alive in every single one of us and between us we have so many amazing memories to share, so let’s just keep sharing them and enjoying them. He would want us to be happy. Laughter always got him through all his hard times and laughter will get us through ours. So I guess what I’m trying to say here is…and these are Bill’s words, not mine, “Don’t forget to laugh and when you do laugh, don’t feel guilty because you are supposed to be mourning for me, laugh because I am still here with you all, laugh because I can hear you.” Your laughter and happiness is what keeps him alive and close to us, because it is the closest we can get to feeling his warmth. So carry on as Bill would want you to, be strong, dedicate things to him, continue to make him proud…speak to him, speak about him, keep him close and in your heart. Let the memories of Bill put the spring back in our lead-heavy legs, let the warmth of his eyes and smile dry our tears and let his voice boom out, “Stop crying you softies,and move on ” Whenever I hit rock bottom and start crying, I can never stay there for long before I start laughing as I remember ‘the good times’…so take a moment please to laugh those tears away by remembering some of Bills silliest moments with you. We carry him with us every day wherever we go, so to Bill from all of us here today…this isn’t goodbye, it’s just a different kind of hello!See you soon my friend.
