Memories

Highschool Sweethearts

Natalie Pillay Nov 28, 2012

High School Sweethearts, we met in Catechism Classes, became familiar on our first youth camp, together. We were the first of many things for each other He was my first love and I his. A special bond was created from the beginning that when we parted we were still the greatest of friends.
Gosh there are so many GREAT memories but I REMEMBER………one of my favourite memories, was when we were home alone, listening to our favourite song “Careless Whisper” and being our usual mischievous playful selves we ended up knocking over my Dad’s jar of contact glue. Hamish being the proper gentleman as he always was, quickly began cleaning with his bare hands not wanting me to touch or help, but me who is just as crazy ran for newspaper to help clean. His fingers were stuck together and it took almost the whole day to clean,(laughing) we never got caught or reprimanded for that. Dunno maybe my Dad was in a good mood when he found the glue missing.
I miss him terribly, he was my Best Friend, Knight in Shining Armour, my Hamlet

Your soft side

Robyn Feb 01, 2010

I remember afternoons sitting on the little white wall in front of the front door chatting and you chiseling away at pieces of white chalk with your knife or blade making little sculptures or those warrior's you sketch so well. I still have mine all framed. And Sunday afternoon Ice-cream drives to Muizenburg Beach. Will miss you always.
