r.i.p.

out of respect, only one post today.

a close friend of mine's dad passed away a couple of days ago.

i only met him once and i only have this one photo of him.

it was taken first thing in the morning on the day of his son's wedding.

i thought i'd be first down to breakfast but no... he was there already

sitting alone in the big room.

i went over to introduce myself and asked why he was up so early.

it was absolutely pouring down and he said something along the lines of

that he couldn't sleep, he wanted to watch the rain and that hopefully it would stop.

we chatted for a few minutes, then his son and a few more people came down.

he seemed like a really nice bloke.
