Arthur Brown died seven years ago. I was young then, it cut deep, so deep it hurts me even now. He was my inspiration as a young boy, I wanted to be everything he was, do everything he did. He loved computers, and I remember well the day he upgraded his Arcamedes to the latest RISC-OS 4 operating system. If only he were here today, how he would love all our wonderous new technology. Maybe I could persuade him to become a Hitchhiker like me. Alas, we'll never know... He loved aircraft, a passion I too have developed. Grandad, I miss you.

Adie Brown, it's harder to say what I feel for you now you're gone. I'm older now, and maybe it's easier to get over it once it's happened before. Or maybe I got used to watching you die. You've been dying all year, since last Summer. You weren't expected to last beyond September, and every day I prayed you'd make it through. I gave up half a year of my life to look after you, but I couldn't help you when you needed my most. No-one could. You were slowly dying, and on the inside, I think so was I. I'm glad it's over now, you're not in pain anymore. I hated watching you slip away, unable to walk, then getting weaker and weaker, moving to the nursing home, losing your memory, maybe even your mind. Every time I saw you suffering, I had to fight back the tears. Seeing you dead hurt me less, I think, as if I didn't know the body lying before me. It didn't mean anything to me, whatever made you the person I loved so much wasn't there anymore. You died peacefully last Wednesday. I'll always love you, farewell.

::conjures up some "Bobo Magic" to make a beatiful display of colors and sounds to finally make explosion of the words

"We Miss You
Arthur Brown"::


::after all "Magic" leaves there stands a monument of good old Arthur Brown with some inscription that only Wargamer can make out, since Bobo searched his mind for something to write and it will be in his heart forever::

if you were wondering I really couldn't think of something to put on the inscription so I just did thatsmiley - biggrin
