Arlo, the last time we saw each other (the Saturday before you passed away), we reminised about the knitted booties your Nan made you, the Ladies Cableknit Cardy she made you wear home, and what it was like to 'take a crap' with a budgie on your shoulder, whether Id mind you taking a pee in front of Jack (my dog) because we couldn't get him out of the bathroom cos he lurrvveed the budgies so much (nom nom) and how you waved to commuters whilst sitting on your throne :D. We started to put the world to rights and ironically discussed life after death, something which you told me you believed in. So I feel comforted to know that. I didn't stay the evening as planned because the snow was coming down thick and fast at home and I wasnt feeling too well, so we re-arranged for another Spag Bol night in, sadly that is not going to happen. You were and continue to be a very special person in my life. The laughs we had, the deep conversations and our joint love of animals and nature. I hope you and Quincy are taking care of each other. I'm so glad I got to tell you how much I loved you and how I thought of you like a brother, so at least you know. You will always be in my heart dear friend MaBelle (your nickname for me) xxx
