Lit by Dushka Wertenbaker-Man & Mike Gold 27th August 2014
Hey Jamesy, Dushy and Mike sitting here having catchups and drinks and reading through old facebook posts/watching videos of back in the day! All that is missing is you. We've been talking a lot tonight about how I (Dushka) have started to go against my general belief that everything happens for a reason while Mike has in the past disagreed with that general statement. After whats happened to you it's been so hard for me to go on believing that thats still true. But what Mike's helped me realise is that what I originally thought to be true (that this kind of butterfly effect only helps those that are immediately important to the situation in question - in this case the loss of you), it in fact will most likely be important to people who might not even know who you are, never have met you and never know the reason for their luck was you. Basically, what's happened to you could be the reason cancer is one day cured, and you'll never know it, we almost definitely will never know it either, but the belief that this kind of thing is possible and very potential is what is keeping us going. Everything happens for a 'reason' is not necessarily the right word for it, but BECAUSE what's happened has happened and the chain reaction of what might come from this is very possibly something that is something really helpful to mankind on a much larger scale... Well that's what we need and want to keep believing in. So Jamie (t) we hope you'll continue to fiddle with your buttons up there and give us some sort of sign that we're right. Love you forever sunshine, love your drunkie pals... "You never know what's going to happen. Life is never in our control. I'm going to tell you a story. When my brother is 18, my uncle gives him a car so he can start working in his factory, doing deliveries. And we all said to my father, "well, this is very lucky". And my father said, "Bueno. Esperamos y ya veremos. Wait and see". "Que sera, sera". Two weeks later, my brother breaks his leg playing football, and I said to my dad, "well this is very unlucky he's gonna lose his job", and my father says, "wait and see". A month later, a huge mudslide smashes into my uncles' factory. The boy who's doing the deliveries is killed. And I said to my father, "Well, my brother finally is very lucky". And he said "wait and see". "You can never predict what will happen next. Life has always one more consequence." - Mad Dogs, Series 4 ep. 2. Sorry for the random quote but we thought it was really appropriate. So much love. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mike & Dushka (your plum) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <3
