Its taken me four days to find the courage to to return to reading the DeeperBlue threads. Ever since I found out about this tragedy Ive been numb, unable to reconcile the passing of a friend with the inane mundaity of life.
I sat two exams at Uni since I found out, in each one the mantra of "Alison would kick your ass if you fucked this up" running through my head.
Because thats the kind of person Alison was, putting others ahead of herself, encouraging us to reach for our dreams, and "stuff the consequences".
I never realised how much her messages meant to me, how much her wit and humour did to cheer me in my failure, and lift me in my triumphs.
Alison: Goodbye my friend, see you in that great ocean beyond, where the viz is perfect and the water is warm....
