You are a day ahead in New Zealand, so today is the 9th there, it is your birthday. I already said happy birthday to you earlier, but what would be more fitting than a birthday post on SP, where we met almost two years ago. You have been my dearest and longest friend, my little brother. “Back then I was a lonesome rogue who stumbled across a little fox in the snow, wounded with nowhere to go.” There isn’t anything I can say here that I haven’t said to you before, or vice versa. Despite different aliases from time to time, we’ve moved on from this place a while ago, but here is to old times sake.
Dear Tom,
You are one of the closest people to my heart and I’ve been so lucky enough to have in my life. Your soul is kind, your heart soft. You are the most trustworthy, upstanding friend. Your heart is pure. You always crack me up with your no bullshit, say whatever is on your mind attitude. Thank you for being you.
Thank you for being there thick and thin, thank you for standing by my side. I will always be here for you. One can’t help but hold back tears thinking of all that we’ve been through. It hasn’t been easy for neither of us, it has been hell. Thank you for holding on.
Hope you manage to get out into the sun today and take a breath of fresh air. Have some soup for fuck’s sake. Ugh.
Happy Birthday, Tom.
All my love, Fox
xx

“Take Me Out” is a great double entendere.
It could mean “show me the sights” or “kill me”.
Happy birthday (this post is adorable).
I’ve got a thing against double digits, y’know… which is why I was afraid of reaching level 22. Also, because Shane wore a no. 22 necklace when he was still on TWD (which represented the position he played in gridiron IIRC). Now, 23 on the other hand… Yeah, I’m not quite sure about that. Not only because of the “23 theory” or the fact that 2+3 = 5 (my soul number), but it makes me sad to think I’d have overstayed my welcome for another year.
You know I’ve got your back no matter what, S. We’ve been through some truly adverse bullshit these past two years, but we’re still here… and we’re still friends. At the risk of you channelling your cousin Bruce and kicking my arse for calling you my “older” sister; I’ll just say that I will always cherish and respect the wisdom you’ve bestowed upon me, and the wise words you are yet to gift in time.
Nga mihi, me toku aroha tino nui ki a koe.
Thank you, with all my love to you, S. (What’s left anyway. And yeah — my Te Reo Maori is really scratchy).
…and thanks to y’all above: Tristeza, Mf and Morris with his infinite wisdom. Also to (viva la) raza as well — I’d just spotted your message from earlier. I hope you have or will be afforded a reprieve from life in the not too distant future. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts. You’ve been in mine as well, of course. As have most folks from here.
Sorry, you don’t know me, but I honestly just breathed a huge sigh of relief that you are still among the living. I was on a year and a half ago and I only had brief contact with you, but you got stuck in my head. Over the past whatever I’m been hoping that things could get better for you. I’m really really glad that you’re still here, you young warrior with the old soul. (Not to be creepy or anything)
And btw, you could never overstay your welcome.
Echoed…except super-creepy and with heavy, moist breathing… 😛
It’s nice to see that you are still alive Shep.
Wishing you the best, Shep (:
