h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There really are around us. I'm not talking about the haloed creatures from heaven - though there's no doubt in my mind that they, too, exist.
No, I'm talking about the people who walk into your life and change it so much that when you look back to assess what's been done, you don't realise how you could've changed so dramatically and the you realise: it's the !
This journal entry is to say thank you to a few of my 's, though I doubt they'll ever get to read it. If you're reading this and you're thinking hey, I've also got people like these in my life, please don't hesitate to share your stories with me!
Firstly, there's Nickey, my best friend for almost six years now. We haven't seen each other for the past year, but everytime we get onto the phone it seems as if we still see each other every day. Nickey was there for me when I was really confused and she clung onto me when I had Manic Depression and no-one else wanted to have anything to do with me (I was that !!). And thanks for always being there and listening to my groans of self-pity when I'm or . I love you, Nick!
Then there's Magda le Roux, the first "grown-up" who listened to me without judging me and telling me what I should do.You are my big hero and I give this to you with all the love that's inside of me: .
And then, there's Johan, my pastor, the man who helped me overcome my alcohol-/drug-abuse and showed me the way I should go, but not forcing me to follow it.I guess I owe my life to you, Johan. I think you are the closest resemblance to Jesus Christ that ever walked the earth, apart from the great J.C. Himself, of course! * Willem, you talk about living for love, my bru, I tell you, this guy Johan knows everything about living in love.Maybe oneday you'll get to meet him, I hope so!* Johan, I'll move the and the for you, my bru! Thanks!
