Kirt, it's said that people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.  We were probably the oldest of friends or at least one of the longest running friendships. 

We were in the same class at Northwold Junior School in Stoke Newington. Our birthdays are five days apart. 

We both moved to Waltham Forest, parallel lives! We met again when we were teenagers in Abbots Park. Smiling, Kirt said "you went to Northwold didnt you? We were in the same class & we've got the same birthday". Wow what a memory!

Those little details formed as children, meant that there has always been a fond bond between us. 

Though we didnt live in each others pockets but were never far apart, moving in similar circles. Leyton Youth Club, parties etc. We got in touch on our birthdays. But as the saying goes, you never miss the water ‘till the well runs dry. I miss my dear happy, caring friend. I'm blessed to have known him.

Kirt ran the race & finished the course. Purpose fulfilled! God's Blessings!

Sleep on peacefully, all is well.
