Pip left us and travelled to Olam Ba-Ha in 1996 after succumbing to Non-Hodgkins Lymphnoma brought on by an HIV depressed immune system.
Last night a group of approx 30 of us gathered to celebrate his 40th Birthday.
It was an emotional evening but one of joy, celebration, remembrance and fellowship.
I could not HELP but share one of the first pictures of Pip and I.
Enjoy - Pip is next to me on the right and yes, that REALLY is me at 19.
Here are more photos of the event.....
Mazel Tov Pip my darling - you are missed, even though you are always with me.
Pip's parents
More of the mob
Musical notes were scatter all over the table as decorations - they're semi-quavers if you're interested
Mob :)
Chicken Mignon - Tiger Prawn stuffed Chicken wrapped with Serrano Ham - GORGEOUS!!
Mob - the man in the blue shirt on the R with the lovely smile is Pips younger brother Bryan
Me and Ima
Me the morning after - OW, OWEE, OUCH, WHY? FOR THE LOVE OF G-D WHY?
(it may have been all those bottles of Sav Blanc my friend Simon kept purchasing)
